Allows applicants for professional or vocational licenses to use an individual taxpayer identification number instead of a social security number.

This bill allows applicants for professional or vocational licenses to provide an individual taxpayer identification number instead of a social security number, provided they meet all other licensing requirements, are not violating employment laws, and can prove residency in Hawaii. The bill amends the application process to include this option and removes the requirement to prove U.S. citizenship or nationality. It also modifies the eligibility criteria for the real estate salesperson license examination.
