Adam Diersing, policy analyst for the Center of Innovation with the Council of State Governments, shares information about CSG's 2021 survey of universal license recognition laws. He describes what ULR laws mean and how they differ from other license portability models such as endorsement, reciprocity agreements, or interstate compacts. He details some of the variations in ULR laws among states that have implemented them. He shares what survey respondents indicated about their experiences in implementation, challenges, and benefits. He offers some lessons learned about substantial equivalency requirements, stakeholder engagement, and digital licensing that could be helpful to states that are considering a ULR law.
