BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF HAWAII:
SECTION 1. Section 436B-14.7, Hawaii Revised Statutes, is amended by amending its title and subsection (a) to read as follows:
"[[]§436B-14.7[]]
Licensure by endorsement or licensure by reciprocity; initial acceptance by
affidavit; temporary license[.]; military spouse. (a) If a
[nonresident] military spouse holds a current license in another state,
district, or territory of the United States with licensure requirements that
the licensing authority determines are equivalent to or exceed those
established by the licensing authority of this State, that [nonresident]
military spouse shall receive a license pursuant to applicable statutes or
requirements of the licensing authority of this State regarding licensure by
endorsement or licensure by reciprocity; provided that the [nonresident]
military spouse:
(1) Has not committed an act in any jurisdiction that
would have constituted grounds for the limitation, suspension, or revocation of
a license; has never been censured or had other disciplinary action taken; has
not had an application for licensure denied; or has not refused to practice a
profession or vocation for which the [nonresident] military spouse seeks
licensure;
(2) Has not been disciplined by a licensing or credentialing entity in another jurisdiction; is not the subject of an unresolved complaint, review procedure, or disciplinary proceeding conducted by a licensing or credentialing entity in another jurisdiction; and has not surrendered membership on any professional staff in any professional association, society, or faculty for another state or licensing jurisdiction while under investigation or to avoid adverse action for acts or conduct similar to acts or conduct which would constitute grounds for disciplinary action in this State;
(3) Pays any fees required by the licensing authority
of this State; [and]
(4) Submits with the application a signed affidavit
stating that application information, including necessary prior employment
history, is true and accurate. Upon receiving the affidavit, if the
licensing authority [shall issue] issues the license to the [nonresident]
military spouse, [and] it may revoke the license at any
time if the information provided in the application is found to be false[.];
and
(5) Is the spouse of a military member who is a member in good standing in the active or a reserve component of any of the armed forces of the United States and the military member has orders issued by the appropriate agencies of the armed forces to be stationed in Hawaii for a duration of at least one year.
The requirements of this section shall not be applicable for licensure of medical doctors, dentists, certified public accountants, or by a licensing authority that is subject to specific provisions regulating licensure by endorsement or licensure by reciprocity pursuant to another chapter."
