An Act relative to unpaid student loans

This bill prohibits state licensing boards and agencies from denying, revoking, or refusing to renew professional licenses because an individual has defaulted on their educational loans. It directly affects professionals such as doctors, nurses, and teachers who might face barriers to practicing their jobs due to unpaid student debt. The law applies to all state-issued licenses except those managed by the Division of Banks, ensuring that financial obligations to lenders do not impact a person's ability to obtain or keep a state credential. By removing the ability to use loan defaults as a reason for license action, the measure aims to separate professional qualifications from personal debt situations.
