CA AB107

Expands temporary professional licenses for military spouses married to active duty service members stationed in California, effective July 1, 2023, to include all professions regulated by the Department of Consumer Affairs (with limited exceptions).

Requires boards to issue temporary licenses within 30 days of receiving required documentation if criminal background checks show no grounds for denial, and mandates applicants pass California law and ethics examinations when otherwise required by the board.

Makes temporary licenses nonrenewable and expiring 12 months after issuance or upon issuance/denial of a standard, endorsement, or expedited license (whichever occurs first), and requires boards to revoke licenses if the holder engages in unprofessional conduct.

Extends the period psychologists licensed in other states or provinces who are married to active duty service members can practice in California without a valid license from 180 days to 12 months.

Requires the Department of Consumer Affairs and Department of Real Estate to compile annual reports to the Legislature on military, veteran, and spouse licensure, and mandates boards post information on their websites about temporary licenses and licensure options for military spouses.
