In making this determination, the factors the Board shall consider include, but need not be limited to, the type of examination administered, the passing score and provisions (if any) for waiver of examination, and the length of time those standards have been in effect.B. If the reciprocal state uses different terminology for its licensing grades than Maine uses, or uses the same terms with different meanings, a reciprocity agreement shall specify which degrees of licensure are subject to reciprocity.C. An individual licensed by reciprocity shall comply with the Maine statutes and rules governing plumbers while engaged in plumbing installations in the State of Maine.D. If a reciprocity agreement is terminated by either Maine or the reciprocal state, no new licenses shall be granted on the basis of that agreement, but the termination of the agreement shall not impair the validity or renewability of licenses previously issued under the agreement.
