    A person who holds a current credential as an occupational 
 therapist in the District of Columbia or a state or territory of 
 the United States whose standards for credentialing are 
 determined by the commissioner to be equivalent to or exceed the 
 requirements for licensure under section 148.6408 may be 
 eligible for licensure by reciprocity as an occupational 
 therapist.  A person who holds a current credential as an 
 occupational therapy assistant in the District of Columbia or a 
 state or territory of the United States whose standards for 
 credentialing are determined by the commissioner to be 
 equivalent to or exceed the requirements for licensure under 
 section 148.6410 may be eligible for licensure by reciprocity as 
 an occupational therapy assistant.  Nothing in this section 
 limits the commissioner's authority to deny licensure based upon 
 the grounds for discipline in sections 148.6401 to 148.6450.  An 
 applicant must provide: 

    (1) the application materials as required by section 
 148.6420, subdivisions 1, 3, and 4; 

    (2) the fees required by section 148.6445; 

    (3) a copy of a current and unrestricted credential for the 
 practice of occupational therapy as either an occupational 
 therapist or occupational therapy assistant; 

    (4) a letter from the jurisdiction that issued the 
 credential describing the applicant's qualifications that 
 entitled the applicant to receive the credential; and 

    (5) other information necessary to determine whether the 
 credentialing standards of the jurisdiction that issued the 
 credential are equivalent to or exceed the requirements for 
 licensure under sections 148.6401 to 148.6450.
