A board shall issue a license, certificate, registration, or permit to a military service applicant to allow the applicant to practice the applicant's occupation in Indiana if, upon application to a licensing board, the applicant satisfies the following conditions:
- (1) Either:
- (A) has:
- (i) completed a military program of training;
- (ii) been awarded a military occupational specialty; and
- (iii) performed in that occupational specialty; at a level that is substantially equivalent to or exceeds the academic or experience requirements for a license, certificate, registration, or permit of the board from which the applicant is seeking licensure, certification, registration, or a permit; or
- (B) has:
- (i) a current license, certification, registration, or permit from another jurisdiction, and that jurisdiction's requirements for a license, certificate, registration, or permit are substantially equivalent to or exceed the requirements for a license, certificate, registration, or permit of the board from which the applicant is seeking licensure, certification, registration, or a permit; and
- (ii) held the license, certification, registration, or permit described in item (i) for at least one (1) year.
- (2) Has not committed any act in any jurisdiction that would have constituted grounds for refusal, suspension, or revocation of a license, certificate, registration, or permit to practice that occupation in Indiana at the time the act was committed.
- (3) Does not have a complaint or investigation pending before an occupational licensing board that relates to unprofessional conduct or an alleged crime.
- (4) Pays the fees required by the board from which the applicant is seeking licensure, certification, registration, or a permit.
