(Richmond)- Relocating to Virginia is now easier for out-of-state workers who want to move into the state to work in 85 licensed professions. Gov. Youngkin has signed a new law that allows “universal licensing” from other states. That means people who work in professions such as real estate, therapy, hair care and more can start work right away when moving to Virginia, provided they are already licensed in another state, have work experience and a clean record. State officials say 300,000 jobs sat empty due to bureaucracy and red tape.
