Bill > SB129

This bill revises Nevada's occupational and professional licensing laws to streamline the process for obtaining a license by endorsement. The bill requires regulatory bodies to automatically issue a license by endorsement to qualified applicants without having to create new regulations. To qualify, an applicant must be a Nevada resident, have held a valid and unrestricted professional license in another U.S. jurisdiction for at least one year, have satisfied educational and examination requirements, and meet several additional criteria. These criteria include having no disciplinary actions, no criminal or civil liability related to their profession, and not having voluntarily surrendered a license while under investigation. The bill mandates that regulatory bodies process endorsement applications within specific timeframes, typically 60 days, and provides a framework for evaluating applicants' qualifications. The bill also invalidates any existing regulations that conflict with these new provisions and is set to take full effect on January 1, 2026, with some immediate administrative provisions. The goal appears to be making it easier for professionals licensed in other states to quickly obtain Nevada professional licenses while maintaining professional standards and public safety.
