(a) Upon payment of the appropriate fee and submission and acceptance of a written application on forms provided by the Board, the Board shall grant a license to each applicant, who shall present proof of current licensure in “good standing” in another state, the District of Columbia, or territory of the United States.  A license in “good standing” is defined in § 3313(a)(3)-(6) of this title;  and

(b) The applicant has passed the national examination designated by the Board pursuant to § 3306 of this title excluding the Clinical Competency Test prior to 1996, unless at the time the applicant became licensed in the State, District of Columbia, or territory of the United States, from which that applicant is applying, the national examination designated by the Board was/were not required by this State (in which case, the applicant need only present evidence of passing whatever national licensing examinations were required of entry level licensees in this State at that time).

(c) Applicants who are not graduates of schools of veterinary medicine accredited by the American Veterinary Medical Association must possess a certificate issued by a certifying commission approved by the Board.

(d) The Board shall grant a license to an applicant, who was previously licensed as a veterinarian in this State, and who has let that applicant's license lapse, subject to the applicant's meeting the requirements of subsection (a) of this section, and continuing education requirements as provided for in the Board's rules and regulations.

(e) If a disciplinary proceeding or unresolved complaint is pending in this State or another state, the applicant may not be licensed in this State until the proceeding or complaint is resolved.  An applicant for licensure as a veterinarian in this State is deemed to have given consent to the release of information related to the pending disciplinary proceeding or unresolved complaint, and to waive all objections to the admissibility of the information as evidence at any hearing or other proceeding to which the applicant may be subject.
