43-20-10. Nonresident licenses; reciprocity

(a) Nonresident dealers' licenses may be issued to individuals domiciled outside of this state upon presentation of satisfactory evidence to the board that they comply with all provisions of this chapter for a dealer's license and upon payment of the fees required for such licenses. Holders of nonresident dealers' licenses shall be governed by and shall be subject to all conditions and provisions of this chapter relating to dealers' licenses.

(b) A nonresident dispenser's license may be issued to an applicant who holds a current unsuspended, unrevoked license to practice the dispensing of hearing aids in another state or jurisdiction upon payment of the fee provided for a dispenser's license under this chapter and upon presentation of satisfactory evidence to the board that such other state or jurisdiction has requirements equivalent to or higher than those in effect pursuant to this chapter for the practice of dispensing hearing aids, provided that such state or jurisdiction has a program equivalent to or stricter than that required by this chapter for determining the qualifications of applicants for a dispenser's license and that such state or jurisdiction has a provision for reciprocity and has entered into a reciprocal agreement with the board. No such applicant for a reciprocal nonresident dispenser's license shall be required to submit to or undergo a qualifying examination. The holder of a nonresident dispenser's license shall be registered in the same manner as the holder of a regular resident dispenser's license. Fees, grounds, and procedures for renewal, suspension, and revocation of dispensers' licenses shall apply to all nonresident dispensers' licenses.
