Summary

The bill tells Kentucky licensing boards to issue a state occupational license or government certification to anyone who already holds a comparable license or certification elsewhere, including military spouses, if they meet a set of eligibility criteria. It also creates a fast‑track process for those with relevant work experience in jurisdictions that don’t require a license. The goal is to make it easier for workers to move to Kentucky and continue their professions.
