S 4350 New Jersey Senate · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Waives certain professional and occupational licensing fees for veterans and spouses of veterans.

This New Jersey bill waives initial licensing fees for veterans and their spouses, domestic partners, or civil union partners who are applying for professional or occupational licenses in the state. The exemption applies specifically to individuals who already hold a current license in another jurisdiction with requirements that are equivalent to New Jersey's standards. By removing these costs, the legislation aims to reduce financial barriers for military service members and their families when transferring their credentials to New Jersey. The law defines a veteran as anyone who received an honorable discharge from the U.S. Armed Forces or National Guard and sets the effective date for three months after enactment.
