A BILL FOR AN ACT
RELATING TO PROFESSIONAL AND VOCATIONAL LICENSING.
BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF HAWAII:
SECTION 1. The
legislature finds that in 2012 Act 248 created HRS §436B-14.8 allowing military

Notwithstanding any law to the contrary, every licensing authority subject to this chapter, upon presentation of satisfactory evidence by an applicant, shall consider relevant education, training, or service completed by an individual as a member of the armed forces or reserves of the United States, the National Guard of any state, the military reserves of any state, or the navy militia of any state as part of the evaluation process toward the qualification requirements to receive the license. Evidence presented for consideration for fulfillment or partial fulfillment of licensing requirements shall demonstrate substantial equivalency to state standards."
SECTION 3. The licensing
administrator of the professional and vocational licensing division of the
department of commerce and consumer affairs shall communicate the intent and
parameters of this Act to each licensing authority and shall submit a report
detailing plans for the implementation of this Act to the legislature no later
than twenty days prior to the convening of the regular session of 2024.
