                        FEBRUARY 19, 2016

Code, relating to professions and vocations.


	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   SB 1348, 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 post information on the board's
Internet Web site about the ability of veteran applicants to apply
their military experience and training towards licensure
requirements.



THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

  SECTION 1.  Section 114.5 of the Business and Professions Code is
amended to read:
   114.5.  (a) Each board shall inquire in every application for
licensure if the individual applying for licensure is serving in, or
has previously served in, the military.
   (b) If a board's governing law authorizes veterans to apply
military experience and training towards licensure requirements, that
board shall post information on the board's Internet Web site about
the ability of veteran applicants to apply military experience and
training towards licensure requirements.
