This Act extends the license of a service member if the license expires while they are on active duty from 90 days to days from the date of discharge. The same applies to a spouse of a service member if the spouse does not practice under their license while the service member is on active duty and does not practice because the service member is on active duty.

Service members and spouses may request extensions of licenses beyond days from discharge and may request a waiver or extension of time to complete continuing education requirements due to hardship.
