Text

(1) The division shall
develop or purchase the examinations administered pursuant to this part 5 for
certification under sections 25-7-506, 25-7-506.5, and 25-7-507 and shall set the
passing scores on all such examinations based on a minimum level of competency
in the procedures to be followed in asbestos abatement. The division shall
administer such examinations at least twice each year or more frequently if
demand so warrants and shall administer such examinations at various locations in
the state if demand so warrants. The purpose of the examinations required
pursuant to this section is to ensure minimum competency in asbestos abatement
procedures. If a person fails to achieve a passing score on any such examination,
retesting of such person shall be with a different examination and after such
person has completed remedial training as determined to be satisfactory to the
division for minimum competency in asbestos abatement procedures. Prior to such
reexamination, an applicant shall file a new application and pay a fee set by the
division. Such fee shall be no greater than the amount paid for the original
examination.

(2) Notwithstanding the provisions of sections 25-7-506, 25-7-506.5, and
25-7-507, the division may certify an individual under this part 5 by endorsement if
such individual possesses in good standing a valid license, certificate, or other
registration from any other state or territory of the United States or from the
District of Columbia, if the applicant presents proof satisfactory to the division that
at the time of application for a Colorado certificate by endorsement the applicant
possesses qualifications substantially equivalent to those of this part 5 as
determined by the division.
