|
|
||
| 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 paid to | ||
| the state 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. | ||
