ESTABLISHING A SPACE NATIONAL GUARD WITHIN THE NATIONAL GUARD: Military leaders this year have continued pushing Congress to create a new National Guard to stand up a Space National Guard and potentially rename the Air National Guard as the “Air and Space National Guard.” Should this happen, Alabama is positioning itself with potential legislation to establish a Space Force within the Air National Guard.

HB151 Military spouses, occupational licensing boards, date revised by which rules must be adopted, timeframe extended for which a temporary permit to practice is effective, Sec. 31-1-6 am'd.
ENHANCE MILITARY SPOUSE LICENSURE: Under existing law, occupational licensing boards are required to adopt rules to provide for licensure or certification of spouses of military personnel if the applicant possesses a license or certificate from another state that is substantially equivalent to Alabama's licensure requirements. This legislation would revise the date by which rules must be adopted, would extend the timeframe for which a temporary permit to practice is effective for a military spouse, and would no longer exempt certain health occupational licensing boards from the provisions of this act, substantially increasing the quality of life for a military spouse who would like to begin work right away after transferring to Alabama.
