New Mexico Statutes Chapter 61. Professional and Occupational Licenses § 61-4-8. License without examination

A. The board shall issue a license without examination to a chiropractic physician who is a graduate of a standard college of chiropractic and has been licensed in another licensing jurisdiction if the applicant holds a valid and unrestricted license, is in good standing with the licensing board of the other licensing jurisdiction and has practiced as a chiropractor for at least two years immediately prior to application in New Mexico. The board shall, as soon as practicable but no later than thirty days after a person files an application for a license accompanied by any required fees, process the application and issue the expedited license in accordance with Section 61-1-31.1 NMSA 1978. If the board issues an expedited license to a person whose prior licensing jurisdiction did not require examination, the board may require that person to pass an examination before applying for license renewal.

B. The board by rule shall determine the states and territories of the United States and the District of Columbia from which it will not accept an applicant for expedited licensure and foreign countries from which it will accept an applicant for expedited licensure. The board shall post the lists of disapproved and approved licensing jurisdictions on its website. The list of disapproved licensing jurisdictions shall include the specific reasons for disapproval. The lists shall be reviewed annually to determine if amendments to the rule are warranted.
