Under existing law, military spouses relocating to the State of Alabama with an active duty member of the United States Armed Forces may be unreasonably delayed in utilizing a professional license or certificate, previously earned in another state, to continue earning income in the State of Alabama.
This bill would provide for the expedited issuance of professional licenses and certificates for the spouses of active duty military personnel relocating to the State of Alabama under official military orders. This bill would further provide for the recognition of professional licenses and certificates obtained by military spouses in other states with greater than or substantially similar licensing criteria as the State of Alabama or for the creation of reciprocity for professional licensing and certification between Alabama and other states.
