[edit] Independent professional licensing and regulatory agencies

In addition to licensing and regulating a vast array of professions, industries and trades directly, ECBS provides administrative support services to the state's several independent boards and commissions which have jurisdiction over particular professions or trades. It publishes guides and a website to assist business owners and professionals in determining and meeting licensing and regulatory requirements, whether or not under the direct jurisdiction of the department.
