PROGRAMS FOR MEMBERS OF THE MILITARY, MILITARY SPOUSES, AND VETERANS

The Nevada State Contractors Board extends its appreciation to all members of the Military and National Guard, and understands the challenges relocation can pose for Military families.  In an effort to assist, the Contractors Board joins the State of Nevada in offering programs specific to Military families, which seeks to expedite our licensing application process.

ACTIVE DUTY MILITARY

VETERAN’S RETURNING TO CIVILIAN LIFE
Intended for Military veterans returning to civilian life this program is intended to help expedite the application for a contractor’s license and ensure that veterans can return to work as quickly as possible.
