National Bureau of Business Licensing Officials The National Bureau of Business Licensing Officials (NBBLO) was established to provide an education forum for the interchange of ideas among state and local business licensing officials. Presently, this is done through two basic means: an annual two day conference and a bi-annual update (newsletter form). It is recognized that some licensing officials deal solely with revenue raising; other are exclusively regulatory officials, and many do both. Great effort is made to provide helpful material at the conferences and in the newsletter to all licensing officials. Our 24th Annual Conference will be held in Denver, Colorado in July 2008. The conferences are designed to provide substantive information regarding a variety of issues that affect local licensing officials from around the country, regardless of whether you are involved in regulatory issues, occupational taxation issues, or both. Currently, national certification of licensing officials has two levels. The first is based on job experience and training. It is in place. The second, still under development, will require rigorous examination to demonstrate expertise in the licensing field. Both will require continual training to maintain the certification. It is planned to work hand-in-hand with state or area organizations to fulfill the training requirement. The purpose is to provide designations recognized by government employees and licenses that the individual has achieved a level of knowledge and training in business licensing that qualifies the person for the position and will prove beneficial in the performance of licensing functions. Please feel free to contact us with any comments, questions or suggestions.
