1. Require an individual employed by a professional corporation to be licensed to perform services for the corporation if a license is not otherwise required or prohibit the professional corporation from employing that individual.

2. Prohibit a licensed individual from rendering professional services in an individual capacity although the licensed individual is a shareholder, director, officer, employee or agent of a domestic or foreign professional corporation or any other person or from being a shareholder, director, officer, employee or agent of more than one domestic or foreign professional corporation or other person.

3. Prohibit an individual licensed in another state from rendering professional services for a domestic or foreign professional corporation in this state if not prohibited by the licensing authority.
