By-law 407(a)(ii), which requires licensees to pay a $50 fee when changing their name, will be repealed. Licensees will continue to be required to notify the Commission and provide government-issued identification when a name change occurs; however, the $50 fee will no longer apply.

Part 8 revisions include, but are not limited to:
- providing more clarity to the discipline process;
- providing more clarity to the roles of the Complaints Review Committee and the Complaints Appeal Subcommittee;
- adding new by-laws about the process when complaints are dismissed;
- including “no contest” settlement agreements as part of a licensee’s public disciplinary history; and
