A 292 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Requires professional boards to issue licenses under certain circumstances to veterans with credentials in good standing from another jurisdiction.

This bill requires New Jersey's professional licensing boards to issue licenses to veterans who have a license in good standing from another state and were honorably discharged from military service. Veterans must provide proof of their honorable discharge and current license status, and meet other standard requirements like passing exams. The law mandates that boards evaluate equivalent military training and experience without requiring the same number of hours as non-veterans. This change helps veterans more easily transfer their licensed skills to jobs in New Jersey, removing a barrier to employment in regulated professions.
