The bill also provides that a reciprocal credential granted to a service member,
former service member, or the spouse of a service member or former service member

expires on the same renewal date as the credential that corresponds to the reciprocal
credential, and that the reciprocal credential may be renewed by paying the
applicable fee and satisfying the requirements that apply to renewing the
corresponding credential. Current law provides that a reciprocal credential granted
to the spouse of a service member expires after 180 days unless DSPS or the
applicable board extends the reciprocal credential. Also, under the bill, DSPS, the
boards attached to DSPS, and the Veterinary Examining Board may promulgate
rules necessary to implement the bill.
For further information see the state fiscal estimate, which will be printed as
an appendix to this bill.
