Permits boards to seek exemptions from the labor commissioner if necessary to protect public health, safety, and welfare, with the commissioner holding final authority on such requests.

Amends teaching license requirements to include an exception for military dependents exempt under the new section, and updates law practice requirements to reference the military dependent exemption.

Extends military spouse licensure provisions to all boards, including those previously exempted from chapter regulations, allowing provisional or temporary licenses while meeting standard requirements.
