A 4317 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Allows for issuance of two-year temporary courtesy license for nonresident military spouses in certain professions.

This bill creates a temporary courtesy license for nonresident military spouses (spouses of active-duty service members who have moved to New Jersey due to military orders) to practice their profession without full state licensure. The license is valid for one year (or two years for specific professions like nursing, social work, and psychology) and requires applicants to hold a current license in another state with equivalent standards, have practiced for at least two of the last five years, pass a background check, and meet other board-specific requirements. The license automatically terminates if the spouse loses their home state license for misconduct or criminal activity. This aims to reduce barriers for military spouses relocating due to service.
