Bill summary
Requires the Program Evaluation Division, in consultation with the Department of Military and Veterans Affairs, to study the extent to which the provisions of GS 93B-15.1 (Licensure for individuals with military training and experience; proficiency examination; licensure by endorsement for military spouses; temporary license) have improved the ability of military-trained applicants and military spouses to become licensed by occupational licensing boards in the State. Specifies six issues to be considered, including whether the criteria in the statute should be expanded to allow for the licensure of more military-trained applicants and military spouses; the feasibility and effectiveness of including a question about military status, including status as a military spouse, on applications for licensure; and providing training for at least one employee in the Department of Military and Veterans Affairs on the licensure process in the statute and considering how to disseminate information about this employee's availability to applicants. Requires a report to the specified NCGA committee and to the Department of Military and Veterans Affairs by February 1, 2020.
