Bill > HR3007

This bill aims to ensure that states recognize the valuable experience veterans gain during their military service when issuing professional licenses and credentials. Specifically, it amends Title 38 of the United States Code, which deals with veterans' benefits and programs, to require states, as a condition for receiving federal grants or contracts, to establish a program that allows veterans to obtain a license or credential without needing to complete additional training or apprenticeships if they achieve a satisfactory score on a state-administered exam and have at least 10 years of experience in a military role deemed similar by the state to the civilian occupation requiring the license or credential. States will also be required to report annually to the Secretary of Labor on the exams administered and their results, and the Secretary of Labor will then summarize this information for Congress and the Secretary of Defense. These provisions are set to take effect one year after the bill's enactment.
