37-1-304. Licensure of out-of-state applicants -- reciprocity. (1) A board shall issue a license to practice without examination to a person licensed in another state if the board determines that:
(a) the other state's license standards at the time of application to this state are substantially equivalent to or greater than the standards in this state; and
(b) there is no reason to deny the license under the laws of this state governing the profession or occupation.
(2) The license may be issued if the applicant affirms or states in the application that the applicant has requested verification from the state or states in which the person is licensed that the person is currently licensed and is not subject to pending charges or final disciplinary action for unprofessional conduct or impairment. If the board or its screening panel finds reasonable cause to believe that the applicant falsely affirmed or stated that the applicant has requested verification from another state, the board may summarily suspend the license pending further action to discipline or revoke the license.
(3) This section does not prevent a board from entering into a reciprocity agreement with the licensing authority of another state or jurisdiction. The agreement may not permit out-of-state licensees to obtain a license by reciprocity within this state if the license applicant has not met standards that are substantially equivalent to or greater than the standards required in this state as determined by the board on a case-by-case basis.
