What it would have done
Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
This bill creates a process for certain individuals who hold a license, certification, registration, or permit that was granted by another state to apply for and receive a reciprocal credential in this state. Under current law, an individual may not engage in certain professions or assume certain titles in this state unless the individual holds a credential issued by a department, examining board, or credentialing board with authority to oversee the profession or practice. Current law requires the Department of Safety and Professional Services, the Veterinary Examining Board, and any credentialing board attached to DSPS, with certain exceptions, to issue a reciprocal credential to a service member, former service member, or the spouse of a service member or former service member who resides in this state if certain conditions are met. This bill expands who may apply for reciprocal credentials to include all individuals. The bill does not allow individuals to receive a reciprocal credential from the Accounting Examining Board or the Real Estate Examining Board that would grant the holder of the credential a limited right to practice law in this state, unless the applicant is licensed to practice law in this state.
