CT HB05398

Military spouses accompanying a spouse assigned to a Connecticut military base may practice their occupation using an out-of-state license, effective October 1, 2020.

Military spouses must present identification and evidence that their out-of-state license meets substantially similar or higher standards than Connecticut's standards, is in good standing, and has no pending disciplinary actions or unresolved complaints.

The relevant state agency must verify the military spouse's out-of-state license is in good standing.

Out-of-state licenses are recognized for the duration of the military member's Connecticut assignment or three years, whichever is less.

"Military spouse" is defined as a person married to an active duty member of the armed forces as defined in Connecticut General Statutes section 27-103.
