Requires professional boards to issue licenses under certain circumstances to veterans with credentials in good standing from another jurisdiction.
This bill requires New Jersey professional licensing boards to issue licenses to veterans who hold valid licenses in good standing from another state. It applies to veterans with an honorable military discharge who meet standard requirements like passing exams. Boards must evaluate equivalent training/experience without demanding identical hours of work. The goal is to help veterans transfer their licensed skills more easily when moving to New Jersey, reducing barriers to employment in licensed professions.
