SB 1348, as introduced, Cannella. Licensure applications: military experience.
Existing law provides for the licensure and regulation of various professions and vocations by boards within the Department of Consumer Affairs. Existing law requires each board to inquire in every application for licensure if the individual applying for licensure is serving in, or has previously served in, the military.
This bill would require each board, with a governing law authorizing veterans to apply military experience and training towards licensure requirements, to modify their application for licensure to advise veteran applicants about their ability to apply that experience and training towards licensure requirements.
Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: yes. State-mandated local program: no.
The people of the State of California do enact as follows:
