relating to occupational license application and examination fees | ||
for certain military service members, military veterans, and | ||
military spouses. | ||
BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS: | ||
SECTION 1. Chapter 55, Occupations Code, is amended by | ||
adding Section 55.009 to read as follows: | ||
Sec. 55.009. LICENSE APPLICATION AND EXAMINATION FEES. | ||
Notwithstanding any other law, a state agency that issues a license | ||
shall waive the license application and examination fees for an | ||
applicant who is: | ||
(1) a military service member or military veteran | ||
whose military service, training, or education substantially meets | ||
all of the requirements for the license; or | ||
(2) a military service member, military veteran, or | ||
military spouse who holds a current license issued by another | ||
jurisdiction that has licensing requirements that are | ||
substantially equivalent to the requirements for the license in | ||
this state. | ||
SECTION 2. The changes in law made by this Act apply only to | ||
an application for an occupational license filed on or after the | ||
effective date of this Act. An application for a license filed | ||
before the effective date of this Act is governed by the law in | ||
effect immediately before that date, and that law is continued in | ||
effect for that purpose. | ||
SECTION 3. This Act takes effect September 1, 2015. |
