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.
