Bill Summary
To address barriers to employment for military families by requiring that state licensing authorities accept military training and experience, where appropriate, as a substitute for additional training and by allowing spouses to gain streamlined occupational certifications.
AI Summary
This bill aims to reduce employment barriers for military families by allowing state licensing authorities to accept military training and experience as a substitute for additional training where appropriate, and by streamlining occupational certifications for military spouses. Specifically, it modifies existing laws to allow veterans and active military personnel to have their military training and experience recognized for police officer certification, motor vehicle operator's licenses, and various trade licenses, often waiving or reducing examination and apprenticeship requirements. The bill also mandates that institutions of higher education award college credit for military occupational specialty training and requires state agencies to develop guidelines for recognizing military education, skills, and training in their licensing and certification processes. Furthermore, it exempts certain military members and veterans from training and testing requirements for emergency medical technician (EMT) licensure and waives licensing fees for those who receive a recommendation for review based on their military training. Finally, licensing authorities will be required to ask applicants if they are service members and to report annually on their processing of applications from service members, with the goal of improving recognition of military qualifications in civilian employment.
