Reciprocal licensing and waiver of examination

(a) The Board may, by discretionary powers granted under Section 20-371 of the General Statutes, grant licensure by reciprocity subject to subsections (b) through (d) of this section. If there is inadequate evidence upon which to judge the competency of the applicant, the board may require the applicant to take the examination. (b) The board, in considering whether to grant licensure by reciprocity, shall consider the applicable statutes and regulations from the state in which the applicant is currently licensed, and shall make a determination of whether the licensure standards are substantially similar to or higher than those of this state. (c) In order to be granted a license by reciprocity, the applicant's experience and/or education shall be either equal to or greater than that required under Section 20-370 of the General Statutes. (d) An applicant seeking reciprocal licensing or a waiver of the examination requirement pursuant to Section 20-371 of the General Statutes, shall provide the board with a council certificate furnished by CLARB. For good cause shown, the board may permit an applicant, in lieu of a council certificate, to submit information regarding education, examination, and experience in the form of a CLARB council record.
