NEW LAW RELATED TO MILITARY PERSONNEL AND SPOUSES: House Bill 296, enacted on July 21, 2014, aims to further assist military service personnel in transitioning from active duty. It allows professional licensing boards and commissions administered by the Division of Professional Regulation to:

• accept the military training, education, or experience of a service member if the training, education, or experience is substantially equivalent to the requirements established by law and regulations of the board/commission
• reinstate the professional license of a service member or his/her spouse within two years of the license lapsing or expiring
• issue a provisional license to a service member or spouse that would be valid for up to six months while his/her application for a professional license by reciprocity or endorsement is pending.

The service member must be active duty military, National Guard or the military reserve who is reassigned to a duty station in Delaware or deployed by the President of the United States or the Governor of Delaware.The Division of Professional Regulation is developing forms to implement the new law.
