S 4341 New Jersey Senate · 2026-2027 Regular Session

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

This bill allows New Jersey professional licensing boards to issue two-year temporary courtesy licenses to nonresident military spouses who are active-duty spouses transferred to the state. To qualify, applicants must hold a current license in another jurisdiction, have practiced their profession for at least two of the last five years, and pass a criminal background check along with any required fees or exams. Once issued, these licenses grant the same rights and obligations as standard resident licenses, but they can be automatically revoked if the spouse's license is suspended or revoked in their home state due to criminal offenses or misconduct. The legislation primarily affects military families moving to New Jersey and the state's various professional licensing boards.
