An act relating to the expedited issuance of professional licenses for practicing, qualified out-of-state applicants

This bill creates a new process for Vermont's Office of Professional Regulation to issue licenses more quickly to out-of-state professionals who have practiced continuously for three years in a jurisdiction that does not require similar licensing for their profession. It directly affects qualified applicants from other states or territories without equivalent licensing systems, provided they meet Vermont's standard qualifications and criminal background requirements. The law amends state code to establish this expedited pathway, effective September 1, 2025.
