A 321 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 Regular Session

"Military Spouse Licensure Reform Act."

This bill, the "Military Spouse Licensure Reform Act," helps military spouses who move to New Jersey due to a service member's orders. It requires professional licensing boards to issue temporary licenses to spouses who already hold valid, unencumbered licenses in another state, allowing them to work immediately in their profession. The temporary license permits practice while the board processes their full license application, replacing the previous system. The law takes effect immediately for applications submitted after its passage.
