The amendment implements Senate Bill 162 requiring licensing agencies to provide an additional alternative licensing procedure for military spouses and new alternative procedures for military service members and veterans seeking a registration or license in Texas.

The amendment takes effect March 1, 2014, and applies to applications filed on or after that date.
A military spouse already licensed in another jurisdiction can request special consideration when applying for registration in Texas and a military service member or veteran can receive credit for comparable military service, training or education when applying for a Texas registration.
No comments were received regarding adoption of the amendment.
The amendment is adopted under Texas Civil Statutes, Article 581-28-1 and Chapter 55 of the Texas Occupations Code. Section 28-1 provides the Board with the authority to adopt rules and regulations necessary to carry out and implement the provisions of the Texas Securities Act, including rules and regulations governing registration statements and applications; defining terms; classifying securities, persons, and matters within its jurisdiction; and prescribing different requirements for different classes. Chapter 55 of the Texas Occupations Code authorizes the agency to adopt rules for licensure or registration of a person who is a military spouse, military service member, or military veteran who meets certain criteria.
The adopted amendment affects Texas Civil Statutes, Articles 581-12, 581-13, 581-14, 581-15, and 581-18.
