Bill Summary
This bill amends current law on temporary courtesy licenses for nonresident military spouses. Under the bill, a nonresident military spouse who seeks and is approved to be issued a temporary courtesy license in New Jersey from the State Board of Applied Behavior Analyst Examiners; the State Board of Marriage and Family Therapy Examiners, including the Alcohol and Drug Counselor Committee; the New Jersey Board of Nursing; the Occupational Therapy Advisory Council; the State Board of Psychological Examiners; the State Board of Social Work Examiners; or the Audiology and Speech-Language Pathology Advisory Committee is to have the temporary courtesy license for two years, with the option, at the discretion of the specific board, council, or committee and submission of an application by the holder of the temporary courtesy license, for a one-year extension. Currently, temporary courtesy licenses are granted for one year, with the option for a one-year extension.
AI Summary
This bill amends current law to allow for the issuance of two-year temporary courtesy licenses for nonresident military spouses in certain professions, such as applied behavior analysis, marriage and family therapy, nursing, occupational therapy, psychology, social work, and audiology/speech-language pathology. Previously, these temporary licenses were only issued for one year with the option for a one-year extension. The bill also outlines the requirements for obtaining these temporary licenses, including holding an active license in another jurisdiction with equivalent licensure requirements and meeting certain experience and disciplinary history criteria. The boards overseeing these professions are granted the authority to adopt regulations to implement the provisions of the bill.
