The board may examine these licensees only as to knowledge of this State's statutes and rules.
(b) An applicant applying for licensure pursuant to this section shall provide proof that the standards upon which licensure was granted by another state or territory of the United States are at least equivalent to the licensing standards under this chapter.
(c) An applicant for reciprocity who is unable to demonstrate that licensure was based on standards at least equal to those under this chapter, may be issued a temporary permit pursuant to section 438-10 while fulfilling requirements necessary for licensure in this State."
