PA HB575

Pennsylvania Department of Education must adopt a policy for awarding academic credit to students enrolled in higher education who completed military training courses, programs, or obtained experiential learning applicable to their degree requirements

Military training qualifies for academic credit if recommended by a national higher education association, noted on a military transcript, or documented in writing by any U.S. armed forces branch including reserves and National Guard

Department of Education must develop and maintain a list of qualified military training courses and distribute it to all institutions of higher education, which must include the credit policy in their public catalogs

Persons holding professional licenses who enter military service retain their licenses and are exempt from continuing education requirements during service, with renewal available within one year of discharge by paying only the current renewal fee

Veterans' military service, education, training, and experience must be considered by licensing agencies to determine if requirements have been met or can be waived, reducing redundant credentialing
