A Licensing Board is a regulatory body that oversees the issuance of licenses for various professions and activities. These boards ensure that individuals meet specific qualifications and standards before they can practice in fields such as medicine, law, and real estate. They help protect the public by ensuring that licensed professionals adhere to ethical and legal guidelines. Licensing Boards typically consist of members who are experts in the relevant field, including professionals and public representatives. They are responsible for evaluating applications, conducting examinations, and enforcing regulations. Examples of such boards include the State Medical Board and the Bar Association.
