Bill > HB1952

This bill amends the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes to further provide for definitions and a policy for the award of academic credit for military training in professional and occupational licenses. It renames the chapter heading from "Professional and Occupational Licenses" to "Licenses and Credits for Military Service and Training." The bill defines "institution of higher education" to include various types of educational institutions in Pennsylvania. It also requires the Department of Education to adopt a policy for awarding academic credit to students who have successfully completed military training courses or programs, and to maintain and disseminate a list of qualified military training sources and programs. Additionally, the bill makes editorial changes and amends a provision related to police training waivers for military service or police officer injuries.
