NASBA Joins Coalition

State Board Report

May 2016

NASBA has joined with representatives from other national professional licensing board associations to form a coalition in response to the North Carolina Dental Board case. The Professional Licensing Coalition (PLC) has spearheaded a federal effort to eliminate the threat of anti-trust financial liability from regulatory boards and their members when they are acting in their official capacity. The strategy is to amend the 1984 Local Government Anti-Trust Act (LGAA) to include state regulatory boards. NASBA Director of Governmental and Legislative Affairs John Johnson is serving as NASBA’s representative to the coalition to help shape legislation that will protect those who serve on State Boards from potential litigation.
