36.480 Credentialing assistance to military spouses relocated to Kentucky --
Multistate clearinghouse -- Annual report.
(1)
The Kentucky Department of Military Affairs shall establish procedures to assist the
spouses of military personnel acquiring and obtaining professional and occupational
licenses, certificates, registrations, permits, or other credentials. A person shall be
eligible for assistance under this section if he or she is the spouse of a member of
the United States Armed Forces, including a member of a state's National Guard or
Reserve on federal active duty who moves into Kentucky when the member of the
United States Armed Forces is reassigned by the military. The department shall:
(a) Establish a process by which the department shall verify whether or not the
military spouse has relocated because of the reassignment of his or her spouse
by the military;
(b) Work directly with other states, testing providers, and organizations issuing
credentials to accelerate the application process for obtaining state licenses,
certifications, registrations, or permits. To fulfill this directive, the department
shall seek input from and disseminate information to state agencies and
credentialing boards on ways to accelerate the process by which eligible
military spouses moving into the Commonwealth may obtain the credentials
required for occupational and professional credentialing as expeditiously as
possible; and
(c) Coordinate the activities of other state agencies and credentialing boards to
establish a clearinghouse by which information on obtaining licenses,
certificates, registration, and permits may be accessed. In coordinating the
information, the department shall compile information from other state
agencies and credentialing boards on the occupations and professions
requiring a state permit, registration, certification, license, or other qualifying
document and the name, telephone number, and address of a contact person
for each such occupation or profession.
(2)
Any state agency or credentialing board issuing permits, registrations, certificates,
or licenses that are a prerequisite to a person engaging in an occupation or
profession shall assist the Kentucky Department of Military Affairs in expediting
the application process for such permits, registrations, certificates, or licenses for
military spouses who come into Kentucky because their spouses are reassigned by
the military.
(3)
The department shall prepare and issue an annual report on its activities in meeting
the directives of this section by June 1 of each year. A copy of the report shall be
submitted to the Interim Joint Committee on Licensing and Occupations and the
Interim Joint Committee on Seniors, Veterans, Military Affairs, and Public
Protection.
