A 3132 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Requires professional boards to issue licenses for veterans with good standing license or certification in another jurisdiction under certain circumstances.

This bill requires New Jersey's professional licensing boards to issue licenses to veterans who hold a good-standing license in another state, provided they were honorably discharged from military service and meet all other licensing requirements (including any exams). Veterans must provide documentation of their honorable discharge and the good standing of their out-of-state license. The bill mandates that boards evaluate equivalent training and experience without requiring the same number of hours as typically needed in New Jersey. This policy change aims to help veterans with existing licenses more easily obtain work in New Jersey's licensed professions by reducing state-specific barriers.
