What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Under current law, many state agencies and boards (licensing agencies)

regulate certain professions and occupations by issuing licenses, permits, or other

credentials (licenses). This bill requires that the Department of Veterans Affairs

(DVA) establish and maintain a program under which licensing agencies grant fee

waivers to certain qualified veterans when they issue initial licenses to these

veterans. In order to be qualified for this waiver, the veteran has to be a resident and

have been honorably discharged from the U.S. armed forces. A qualified veteran may

receive the fee waiver only if he or she has not previously received a fee waiver for

any type of license. The fee waiver applies only to professional or occupational

licenses that are issued to individuals and not to licenses issued to businesses or

other entities.
