Reciprocity

1. The board will evaluate the submission of requests for reciprocity for licensure on an individual basis and grant such only upon a finding that the requirements for licensure in another state or jurisdiction are equal to or more stringent than those of North Dakota and that the applicant's license in another state or jurisdiction is in good standing. 2. The board may deny a request for reciprocity for licensure if the applicant has had disciplinary action taken against him or her or has engaged in conduct that violates the standards of section 96-02-09-02 or conduct that meets the requirements for discipline under North Dakota Century Code section 43-48-15 even if the applicant is currently in good standing in another state or jurisdiction. 3. If an individual applying for licensure by reciprocity under this section has been licensed previously by the board to practice in North Dakota, the individual must also meet the continuing education requirements of section 96-02-04-01 before being licensed under this section.
