What it would have done
Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
This bill establishes a process for credential holders from other states to obtain reciprocal credentials to practice their professions in Wisconsin. Under the bill, a person who applies to the Department of Safety and Professional Services, a credentialing board, or the Veterinary Examining Board, as appropriate, must be granted a reciprocal credential if the person holds a license, certification, registration, or permit granted by another state that qualifies the person to practice the profession authorized under the analogous credential granted by DSPS or the appropriate board. In order to receive the reciprocal credential, an applicant must reside in Wisconsin and satisfy certain other requirements, including that 1) the applicant has held a license, certification, registration, or permit analogous to the credential in another state for at least one year; 2) when the applicant was granted the license, certification, registration, or permit, minimum education and, if applicable, work experience and clinical supervision requirements applied; 3) the applicant has not had a license, certification, registration, or permit revoked; 4) the applicant does not have a complaint, allegation, or investigation pending before a regulating entity in another state or country relating to unprofessional conduct; 5) the applicant passes a criminal background check that applies to applicants for the analogous credential; and 6) the applicant passes an examination on the laws governing practice of the profession in Wisconsin, if such an examination is required for the analogous credential.
The bill generally applies to credentials granted by the Veterinary Examining Board, DSPS, and credentialing boards in DSPS, but does not apply to credentials related to transportation network companies, private colleges, boxing and martial arts, body art and tanning facilities, private detectives, and security guards.
