Section 20:75:03:15 - Substantial equivalency and reciprocity

A certificate holder licensed by another state, before establishing a principal place of business in this state, shall request the issuance of a certificate from the board pursuant to SDCL 36-20B-26.

An applicant for issuance or renewal of a reciprocal license shall, in the application, list any state in which the applicant has applied for or holds a certificate, license, or permit and list any past denial, revocation, or suspension of a certificate, license, or permit. Each holder of, or applicant for, a certificate shall notify the board in writing, within 30 days after its occurrence, of any issuance, denial, revocation, or suspension of a certificate, license, or permit by another state, or volunteer surrender of a CPA certificate, license, or permit to resolve or avoid disciplinary action, or similar actions concerning a substantially equivalent foreign designation, any other form of discipline imposed against the holder of a CPA certificate, license, permit, or a substantially equivalent foreign designation, the conviction of any crime and the revocation of a professional license of any kind in any jurisdiction, change of address, or employment. The application shall be accompanied by a fee of $50.

The applicant for initial issuance or renewal under this chapter shall comply with the continuing professional education requirements for issuance or renewal in the applicant's state, or the continuing professional education requirements applicable in this state, if the applicant's state of licensure does not require continuing professional education.

If the applicant passed the examination in a state that is not deemed to be substantially equivalent to this state's educational requirements, the board may issue the applicant a license upon a showing that the requirements of SDCL 36-20B-25 are met and the applicant's license has been deemed to be in good standing by the host state's licensing board.
