relating to: reciprocal

7and granting rule-making authority.
Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
This bill enables service members, former service members, and the spouses of
former service members who reside in this state to obtain reciprocal credentials to
practice a profession granted by the Department of Safety and Professional Services,
the boards attached to DSPS, and the Veterinary Examining Board. To obtain a
reciprocal credential under the bill, a person must hold an analogous credential in
another jurisdiction, and the bill applies to former service members discharged from
the armed forces under conditions other than dishonorable within four years of
applying for a reciprocal credential. Under current law, the spouse of a service
member may obtain a reciprocal credential granted by DSPS, the boards attached
to DSPS, and the Veterinary Examining Board.
The bill also provides that a reciprocal credential granted to a service member,
former service member, or the spouse of a service member or former service member
expires on the same renewal date as the credential that corresponds to the reciprocal
credential, and that the reciprocal credential may be renewed by paying the
applicable fee and satisfying the requirements that apply to renewing the
corresponding credential. Current law provides that a reciprocal credential granted
to the spouse of a service member expires after 180 days unless DSPS or the
applicable board extends the reciprocal credential. Also, under the bill, DSPS, the
boards attached to DSPS, and the Veterinary Examining Board may promulgate
rules necessary to implement the bill.
For further information see the state fiscal estimate, which will be printed as
an appendix to this bill.
