Bill > SB242

This bill, titled the Modernizing Civil Relief for Service Members Act, aims to make it easier for active duty service members and their spouses to practice their professions in Maryland. It allows these individuals, under specific circumstances, to practice in the state using a professional or occupational license they already hold from another jurisdiction, provided they meet certain criteria such as being in good standing with their licensing authority and not having any disciplinary actions pending. Additionally, the bill broadens the definition of an "eligible veteran" for licensing purposes to include former service members who have been discharged for more than one year prior to applying for a license, certificate, or registration, thereby offering them more streamlined access to professional licensing.
