Allows for issuance of two-year temporary courtesy license for nonresident military spouses in certain professions.
S 2521 extends the initial duration of temporary courtesy licenses for nonresident military spouses from one year to two years in specific professions, including nursing, social work, psychology, and related fields. To qualify, applicants must hold a current license in another jurisdiction with equivalent requirements, have practiced for at least two of the last five years (counting military service), and pass a background check. The license may be extended for an additional year at the board's discretion. This change applies to military spouses who have relocated to New Jersey due to active duty military orders.
