A chiropractor with an inactive or lapsed South Dakota license and an active license in good standing in another state may, after meeting all other requirements of this chapter, convert to an active South Dakota license by paving the active license fee, submitting a renewal application, and providing verification of continuing education as required by § 20:41:08:02. A chiropractor with an inactive or lapsed South Dakota license who does not currently have an active license in good standing in another state, may convert to an active license in South Dakota only after passing the National Board of Chiropractic Examiners (NBCE) Special Purposes Examination for Chiropractic (SPEC), the National Board of Chiropractic Examiners Part IV Examination, or both, as determined by the board. The board shall determine the score for passage and shall consider the NBCE recommended score to make that determination. If it has been two years or less since a chiropractor had an active license in South Dakota, the board may waive the Special Purposes Examination for Chiropractic (SPEC).
