The following is a summary of the public testimony from the committee hearing. The testimony was based on the introduced version of the bill.

PROPONENTS: Supporters say that there are 20 to 25 professions that may not be licensed in other states. This isn’t a large group of people that this would cover, but it would still help add to our workforce. The people receiving the temporary license must pass the required tests for the profession he or she seeks to be licensed in.
