Bill Summary

This bill provides that no professional or occupational board shall charge a license application fee to an applicant who is the spouse or dependent of an active-duty service member. The bill also removes the provision requiring the payment of a fee for the issuance of a temporary courtesy license. In addition, the bill provides that a professional or occupational licensing board shall include on any application for professional or occupational licensure a box for the applicant to indicate the applicant's status as the spouse or dependent of an active duty member of the United States Armed Forces.

AI Summary

This bill aims to ease the process for spouses and dependents of active-duty military members to obtain professional licenses in New Jersey by eliminating application fees for these individuals, meaning they will no longer have to pay to submit their license applications. Additionally, the bill removes any fees previously associated with obtaining a temporary courtesy license, which allows individuals licensed in another state to practice temporarily in New Jersey. To facilitate this, professional and occupational licensing boards will be required to add a specific checkbox on all license applications, allowing applicants to easily declare their status as the spouse or dependent of an active-duty service member.
