Gov. Rick Snyder has signed laws waiving fees for Michigan veterans seeking certain job licenses from the state, to include medical marijuana caregivers.
The bill was unanimously approved by the Legislature and waives fees for veterans applying for occupational, security and alarm licensing fees if they were honorably discharged.
Snyder says the bills “will help connect our veterans to job opportunities that may have not been available otherwise.” Approximately 680,000 veterans live in Michigan.
Veterans looking to take advantage of the legislation will need to wait 90 days for the new law to go in to effect.
