What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

This bill waives the fees for initial occupational credentials, granted by the

Department of Safety and Professional Services or an examining board, affiliated

credentialing board, or other board under DSPS, for a person whose family income

does not exceed 180 percent of the federal poverty line.

The bill also includes a change to the veterans fee waiver program. Under that

program in current law, a veteran is entitled to a fee waiver for an initial credential

required to practice certain professions or occupations. The program limits a veteran

to receiving a fee waiver only if the veteran has not already received a fee waiver

under the program. This bill eliminates that limitation with respect to initial

credentials issued by DSPS or an examining board, affiliated credentialing board, or

other board under DSPS.
