This substitute amendment differs from 2023 Assembly Bill 332 in the
following ways:
1. The substitute amendment adds a number of exemptions from the bill's
universal reciprocity provision, including credentials that allow the limited practice
of law, certified public accounting credentials, and electrician credentials.
2. The substitute amendment additionally requires that, in order to be granted
a reciprocal credential under the bill's universal reciprocity provision, an individual
to have held the credential in another jurisdiction for at least three years within the
five years preceding application.
3. The substitute amendment additionally requires that, in order to be granted
a reciprocal credential under the bill's universal reciprocity provision, an individual
pass a statutes and rules examination, if otherwise required for applicants for the
credential. The substitute amendment, however, prohibits statutes and rules
examinations for certain credentials for which they are currently required and
instead allows the Department of Safety and Professional Services and the
examining and credentialing boards to require an applicant to affirm that the
applicant has read and understands the statutes and rules that apply to the
applicant's practice.
The people of the state of Wisconsin, represented in senate and assembly, do
