Except as authorized under this section, all 60 regulatory activities related to the repealed program shall 61 cease after the date of repeal. 62 (5) Any remaining unencumbered revenue collected under an 63 occupational regulatory program allowed to expire through repeal 64 shall be refunded on a pro rata basis by the Chief Financial 65 Officer pursuant to s. 215.26, upon request of the person or 66 entity who paid, if such request is made within 1 year after the 67 repeal of the program. 68 (6) Any cause of action pending on the date the 69 occupational regulatory program was repealed, or any cause of 70 action brought thereafter, shall be prosecuted or defended in 71 the name of the state by the Department of Legal Affairs, if 72 prior to repeal such action would have been prosecuted or 73 defended by the occupational regulatory program repealed by this 74 act. 75 (7) Any occupational regulatory program that expires 76 through scheduled repeal in accordance with this act may not be 77 subsequently regulated by a local government. The regulation of 78 any occupation repealed by this act is preempted to the state 79 unless local regulation of such occupation is expressly 80 authorized by law. 81 Section 3.
