				340.1010(a), all of the following apply:
(a)
				The individual shall provide to the department documentation and other

				school social worker certificate will not adversely affect the health, safety,
				and welfare of pupils.
(b) If the
				superintendent of public instruction suspended the preliminary school social
				worker certificate or professional school social worker certificate pursuant to
