Comments
These boards are required to adopt rules and regulations to
provide for methods of evaluating education, training, and
experience obtained in the armed services, if applicable to
the requirements of the business, occupation, or profession
regulated, and to specify how this education, training, and
experience may be used to meet the licensure requirements
for the particular business, occupation, or profession
regulated.
According to the Deputy Secretary of Veterans Services, the
department contacted DCA in August 2009 to ensure that
veterans' skills and experience obtained in the armed
services are appropriately accounted for in professional
licensing rules and regulations. As of August 2009, the
department had no explicit agreements, timelines, or plans
regarding the collaboration.
