     148C.07 Reciprocity. 

    (a) An individual who holds a current license or national 
 certification as an alcohol and drug counselor from another 
 jurisdiction must file with the commissioner a completed 
 application for licensure by reciprocity containing the 
 information required under this section.  

    (b) The applicant must request the credentialing authority 
 of the jurisdiction in which the credential is held to send 
 directly to the commissioner a statement that the credential is 
 current and in good standing, the applicant's qualifications 
 that entitled the applicant to the credential, and a copy of the 
 jurisdiction's credentialing laws and rules that were in effect 
 at the time the applicant obtained the credential.  

    (c) The commissioner shall issue a license if the 
 commissioner finds that the requirements, which the applicant 
 had to meet to obtain the credential from the other jurisdiction 
 were substantially similar to the current requirements for 
 licensure in this chapter, and the applicant is not otherwise 
 disqualified under section 148C.09.
