| 14 | 14 | | Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau |
|---|
| 15 | 15 | | This bill creates a process for certain individuals who hold a license, |
|---|
| 16 | 16 | | certification, registration, or permit that was granted by another state to apply for |
|---|
| 17 | 17 | | and receive a reciprocal credential in this state. Under current law, an individual |
|---|
| 18 | 18 | | may not engage in certain professions or assume certain titles in this state unless the |
|---|
| 19 | 19 | | individual holds a credential issued by a department, examining board, or |
|---|
| 20 | 20 | | credentialing board with authority to oversee the profession or practice. Current law |
|---|
| 21 | 21 | | requires the Department of Safety and Professional Services, the Veterinary |
|---|
| 22 | 22 | | Examining Board, and any credentialing board attached to DSPS, with certain |
|---|
| 23 | 23 | | exceptions, to issue a reciprocal credential to a service member, former service |
|---|
| 24 | 24 | | member, or the spouse of a service member or former service member who resides in |
|---|
| 25 | 25 | | this state if certain conditions are met. This bill expands who may apply for |
|---|
| 26 | 26 | | reciprocal credentials to include all individuals. The bill does not allow individuals |
|---|
| 27 | 27 | | to receive a reciprocal credential from the Accounting Examining Board or the Real |
|---|
| 28 | 28 | | Estate Examining Board that would grant the holder of the credential a limited right |
|---|
| 29 | 29 | | to practice law in this state, unless the applicant is licensed to practice law in this |
|---|
| 30 | 30 | | state. |
