A 2127 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Concerns certain requirements regarding experience and examination for nonresident military spouses seeking professional or occupational licensure.

This bill modifies New Jersey's licensing rules for nonresident military spouses - spouses of active-duty service members transferred to New Jersey due to military orders. It reduces the required work experience from five to two of the past seven years (instead of five years) for qualifying applicants seeking a temporary license. The temporary license, valid until the next renewal period, allows immediate practice while the board arranges a required exam within 30 days, with automatic revocation if the spouse's home-state license is revoked for misconduct or criminal offenses. The bill also requires background checks, fees, and proof of current licensure in another jurisdiction.
