LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST AB 1057, Medina. Professions and vocations: licenses: military service. Existing law provides for the licensure and regulation of various professions and vocations by boards within the Department of Consumer Affairs. Existing law authorizes a licensee or registrant whose license expired while the licensee or registrant was on active duty as a member of the California National Guard or the United States Armed Forces to, upon application, reinstate his or her license without penalty and without examination, if certain requirements are satisfied, unless the licensing agency determines that the applicant has not actively engaged in the practice of his or her profession while on active duty, as specified. This bill would require each board, commencing January 1, 2015, to inquire in every application for licensure if the individual applying for licensure is serving in, or has previously served in, the military. THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS: SECTION 1. Section 114.5 is added to the Business and Professions Code, to read: 114.5. Commencing January 1, 2015, each board shall inquire in every application for licensure if the individual applying for licensure is serving in, or has previously served in, the military.
