State Auditor Les Merritt wants North Carolina’s professional licensing boards to give greater flexibility to National Guard members and Reservists who are deployed.
Merritt has submitted a resolution on the matter to the Council of State, which meets Tuesday.
Deployments can make it impractical or impossible for Reservists and National Guard members to keep up with professional license requirements, Merritt said.
“North Carolina’s men and women who are already sacrificing a great deal in service to our State and our Country should not be put at a professional disadvantage when they return home,” Merritt said in a news release today.
