KRS 224.10-052 initially established the Office of Occupations and Professions (O & P) with the responsibility of providing general administrative services to state regulatory boards/entities at the option of the board/commission. In April 2017, Executive Order 2017-325 was codified in KRS 324B.020 to restructure the Office, thus creating the Department of Professional Licensing (DPL). Through utilization of DPL services, these boards license and/or track licensure status for approximately 46,000 individuals/businesses throughout the Commonwealth each year.
The boards/entities served by DPL include:
Kentucky Board of Alcohol and Drug Counselors
Kentucky Board of Registration for Professional Geologists
Kentucky Board of Licensure and Certification for Dietitians and Nutritionists
Kentucky Board of Interpreters for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing
Kentucky Board of Licensure for Pastoral Counselors
Kentucky Board of Licensed Professional Counselors
Kentucky Board of Ophthalmic Dispensers
Kentucky Board of Licensure of Marriage and Family Therapists
Kentucky Board of Licensure for Long-term Care Administrators
Kentucky Licensing Board for Specialists in Hearing Instruments
Kentucky Directory of Registered Athlete Agents
Kentucky Board of Speech-Language Pathology & Audiology
