licensing board

A licensing board is a regulatory authority responsible for overseeing and issuing licenses to qualified professionals within a specific industry or field, such as healthcare, engineering, or law. Its primary role is to set standards for education, training, and ethics, ensuring practitioners are competent and uphold industry laws. The board also investigates complaints, enforces regulations, and can discipline or revoke licenses if necessary. This oversight protects the public by maintaining high professional standards and ensuring that those practicing are qualified and committed to ethical practices.
