Revises requirements and process for temporary courtesy licenses and certificates issued by State Board of Examiners, NJ Board of Nursing, and other professional and occupational licensing boards to nonresident military spouses.

This bill (A1027) revises New Jersey's process for issuing temporary licenses to nonresident military spouses who are licensed in another state. It extends the validity of temporary instructional certificates from 180 days to 365 days, with potential four-year extensions for those demonstrating progress toward full certification. The bill removes the requirement for licensing boards to determine if out-of-state licenses have equivalent requirements and clarifies that boards can only charge for criminal history checks. It also mandates expedited processing for these applications and requires indefinite license extensions as long as the military spouse's family remains stationed in New Jersey.
