§ 20-399 — Licensure of out-of-state licensees.

Whenever the department determines that another state or jurisdiction has requirements equivalent to or higher than those established pursuant to this chapter and that such state or jurisdiction has a program equivalent to or stricter than the program for determining whether applicants pursuant to this chapter are qualified to fit or sell hearing aids, the department may issue licenses, on payment of the license fee provided in section 20-398, to applicants who hold current, unsuspended and unrevoked certificates or licenses to fit and sell hearing aids in such other state or jurisdiction. No such applicants for licensure shall be required to submit to or undergo a qualifying examination. No license shall be issued without examination under this section to any applicant against whom professional disciplinary action is pending or who is the subject of an unresolved complaint.
