AN ACT CONCERNING OCCUPATIONAL LICENSE INTERSTATE RECIPROCITY FOR CERTAIN MILITARY-RELATED INDIVIDUALS.

SB 723 allows Connecticut to recognize occupational licenses held by veterans, active-duty military members, or their immediate family members in other states. If these individuals apply, Connecticut's licensing authorities must treat their out-of-state license as valid for the same occupation and scope of practice. This eliminates the need for duplicate licensing exams or paperwork when military-connected people move to Connecticut for work. The bill directly affects military-affiliated workers seeking to practice regulated professions like nursing, engineering, or contracting in Connecticut.
