The Legislature finds that military service members after separating from military service are frequently delayed in getting post-military employment even though the service member may have applicable military education, training, and experience which could qualify for an occupational license or certification, or which could provide academic credit toward college, university or technical degree requirements. The Legislature finds it is advantageous to the state to create occupational and educational opportunities for post-military service members who are honorably discharged and spouses of active-duty service members who must leave work in another state to accompany their service member on transfer and assignment for military duty in this state.
The Legislature additionally finds that the spouse of an active-duty service member assigned for duty in this state who possesses a valid professional license or certification with current experience in another state should be allowed to apply for the same professional license or certification in this state and such application should be expedited for better employment opportunities and based upon the person having substantially equivalent education, training and experience for licensure in this state.
