Madam speaker, last year, my military spouse bill passed both chambers of Congress and was signed into law by the president in January. And I'm grateful for that. It helped about 140,000 active duty families. This law requires all 50 states to recognize the professional licenses of active duty spouses. If they're a nurse, a teacher, real estate agent, cosmetologist. Their licenses are now recognized across state lines when our active duty families get orders to a new state and to our troops and their, and their spouses throughout the nation. (05:14–05:22)
