Relating to occupational licensing reciprocity agreements.

SB 2531 requires Texas occupational licensing agencies to actively pursue mutual recognition agreements with other states. It mandates agencies to compare licensing standards (including training, testing, and scope of practice) to identify states with equivalent requirements and report progress annually to the governor and legislature. The bill directs agencies to eliminate barriers preventing reciprocity and recommend legislative changes to reduce Texas licensing requirements where possible. This primarily affects licensed professionals seeking to work across state lines and the state agencies that issue occupational licenses.
