"5310. Reciprocity.

Where an applicant is currently licensed or certified as a massage and/or bodywork therapist or massage technician, or is licensed or certified under any other title which indicates such person practices massage and/or bodywork in another jurisdiction, and has practiced continually for two years in that jurisdiction, in lieu of all other requirements for licensure and certification under this chapter, the Board shall accept a certificate or other evidence that the applicant is currently licensed or certified in that jurisdiction, has practiced continually for 2 years, possesses current CPR certification, and in addition, for an applicant for licensure as massage and bodywork therapist, has achieved the passing score on the written national examination.

Upon receipt of an application from an applicant who has been or who currently is licensed, certified or registered as a massage and/or bodywork therapist or massage technician in another jurisdiction, the applicant is responsible for contacting the licensing authority or comparable agency, in such other jurisdiction or jurisdictions and requesting that a certified statement be sent directly to the Board by the licensing authority, which shall certify that there are no disciplinary proceedings or unresolved complaints pending against the applicant; and whether the applicant has engaged in any of the acts or offenses that would be grounds for disciplinary action under this chapter. In the event that a disciplinary proceeding or unresolved complaint is pending, the applicant shall not be licensed until the proceeding or complaint has been resolved. Applicants for licensure to practice massage and bodywork therapy in this State shall be deemed to have given consent to the release of such information and to waive all objections to the admissibility of such evidence.
