Current through Register Vol. 47, No. 3, July 24, 2024
(1) For the purposes of this rule, "issuing
			 jurisdiction" means the duly constituted authority in another state that has
			 issued a professional license, certificate, or registration to a
			 person.
(2) Notwithstanding any
			 other provision of law, a commercial explosive contractor license or commercial
			 blaster license will be issued without an examination to a person who
			 establishes residency in this state or to a person who is married to an active
			 duty member of the military forces of the United States and who is accompanying
			 the member on an official permanent change of station to a military
			 installation located in this state if all of the following conditions are met:
a. The person is currently licensed by at
			 least one other issuing jurisdiction as a commercial explosive contractor or
			 commercial blaster with a substantially similar scope of practice and the
			 license is in good standing in all issuing jurisdictions in which the person
			 holds a license.
b. The person has
			 been licensed by another issuing jurisdiction for at least one year.
c. When the person was licensed by the
			 issuing jurisdiction, the issuing jurisdiction imposed minimum educational
			 requirements and, if applicable, work experience, and the issuing jurisdiction
			 verifies that the person met those requirements in order to be licensed in that
			 issuing jurisdiction.
d. The person
			 previously passed an examination required by the other issuing jurisdiction for
			 licensure, if applicable.
e. The
			 person has not had a license revoked and has not voluntarily surrendered a
			 license in any other issuing jurisdiction or country while under investigation
			 for unprofessional conduct.
f. The
			 person has not had discipline imposed by any other regulating entity in this
			 state or another issuing jurisdiction or country. If another jurisdiction has
			 taken disciplinary action against the person, the department shall determine if
			 the cause for the action was corrected and the matter resolved. If the
			 department determines that the matter has not been resolved by the jurisdiction
			 imposing discipline, the department shall not issue or deny a license to the
			 person until the matter is resolved.
g. The person does not have a complaint,
			 allegation, or investigation pending before any regulating entity in another
			 issuing jurisdiction or country that relates to unprofessional conduct. If the
			 person has any complaints, allegations, or investigations pending, the
			 department shall not issue or deny a license to the person until the complaint,
			 allegation, or investigation is resolved.
h. The person pays all applicable
			 fees.
i. The person does not have a
			 criminal history that would prevent the person from holding the commercial
			 explosive contractor license or commercial blaster license applied for in this
			 state.
