A 3609 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Concerns professional licensing and application fees for spouse or dependent of active duty member of United States Armed Forces.

This bill exempts spouses and dependents of active-duty U.S. military members from paying application fees for professional licenses in New Jersey. It requires licensing boards to add a checkbox on all applications for applicants to indicate military family status. Boards must issue temporary licenses to qualifying military spouses based on their home-state credentials, without charging the standard fee for these licenses. The law applies to all licensed professions regulated by New Jersey boards, effective 90 days after enactment.
