(2) on application, the board waives the examination requirement.
(c) A person who applies for a new certificate or firm license must, if applicable, disclose in the application the fact that the person previously resigned and surrendered a certificate or firm license during the course of a disciplinary investigation or proceeding conducted by the board.
