He had successfully taken the professional engineering examination in Georgia. He moved to Florida and received a Florida license through reciprocity. At the time he sought a license in Kansas, he had allowed his Georgia license to expire. Based on the expiration of Bruns' Georgia license, the BTP refused to license him as a professional engineer in Kansas. 255 Kan. at 733.

We note that Bruns was not informed of the BTP's written policy which formed the basis of the denial until August 1, 1990. He filed his application in November 1989. 255 Kan. at 737. We remanded to the BTP, observing that on remand, the BTP may deny Bruns' application for reciprocity if it determines that the requirements under which his Florida license was issued do not meet the BTP's standards. 255 Kan. at 736.
