Bill Summary
This bill provides that the several professional and occupational licensing boards in the Division of Consumer Affairs in the Department of Law and Public Safety shall not charge a license fee to a veteran or the spouse of a veteran when granting that veteran or spouse, on the basis of reciprocity, a license to practice in New Jersey. In each such instance, the board has determined that the veteran or spouse holds a current license to practice the profession or occupation in another jurisdiction that the board determines has licensure requirements to practice the profession or occupation that are equivalent, or substantially equivalent, to those adopted by the board. The bill defines "veteran" as a person who received an honorable discharge from a branch of the active or reserve component of the Armed Forces of the United States or the National Guard of any state.
