In a letter to Arkansas state agency directors, Governor Asa Hutchinson directed a review of procedures to ensure full compliance with Act 248 of 2017, which requires agencies to promulgate rules and regulations promoting the portability of occupational licenses for active-duty or recently discharged service personnel and their spouses. “Attracting military members, veterans, and their families to Arkansas enhances our workforce and promotes economic development,” the governor wrote. “I need your help in this initiative.” Governor Hutchinson also asked agency directors to make sure their websites prominently display license portability information.
