AI Summary
This bill proposes to require occupational licensing authorities in Ohio to issue licenses or government certifications to applicants who hold a license, government certification, or private certification in another state, or who have satisfactory work experience in another state, for the same profession, occupation, or occupational activity, even if Ohio does not normally issue that type of license or certification.
The key provisions of the bill are:
- It requires state occupational licensing authorities to issue a license or government certification to an applicant if the applicant either holds a license or certification in another state, or has satisfactory work experience, a government certification, or a private certification in another state for the same profession, occupation, or activity, even if Ohio does not normally issue that type of license or certification. This applies to a wide range of occupations regulated by the state, including many licensed professions like teachers, nurses, social workers, and more, as well as certifications for various occupational activities.
- It specifies that this reciprocity provision applies regardless of whether the other state's licensing or certification requirements are as stringent as Ohio's. The goal is to make it easier for out-of-state workers to obtain an Ohio license or certification.
- It requires authorities to issue the license or certification within a specific timeframe, generally 60 days, unless there are issues with the applicant's background that would disqualify them.
- It prohibits local governments from preventing a holder of an Ohio license or certification issued under this reciprocity provision from practicing in that locality.
The bill aims to reduce barriers for out-of-state workers to obtain occupational licenses and certifications in Ohio, in order to help address workforce shortages and allow greater mobility across state lines.
