Assembly Approves Bill to Expedite Licenses for Spouses of Service Members
The bill decreases the wait time for spouses to earn their professional licenses in California.
The State Assembly approved a bill Monday that expedites professional licenses for spouses of service members.
The bill—which was authored by Assemblyman Marty Block (D-San Diego) and was approved by a 78-0 vote—would expedite the licensure process for military spouses with a current, valid license in their career field from another jurisdiction.
