§59-328.23.
   
   A. 1. The Board of Dentistry may issue a license to practice
   dentistry, without examination, to an out-of-state dentist who has
   been engaged in the practice of dentistry in another state for at
   least five (5) years, upon presentation to the Board of a certificate
   from the dental licensing agency of that state, certifying the
   applicant's length of practice and that the applicant is in good
   standing with the agency, and upon the payment of a fee established by
   the rules of the Board; provided, however, the state from which the
   applicant presents a license to practice dentistry shall have required
   the applicant to meet professional education, competency, and moral
   character standards substantially equivalent to the standards required
   by the Board for issuance of a license by examination to practice
   dentistry in this state.
   
   2. The Board shall not issue a license pursuant to this subsection to
   any person who would not otherwise be eligible to receive a license to
   practice dentistry.
   
   3. The Board may require:
   
   a. an applicant for a license to practice dentistry pursuant to this
   subsection to have completed the same continuing education
   requirements as required of dentists in this state, and
   
   b. that the state from which the applicant presents credentials afford
   substantially equivalent licensure by credentialing to dentists of
   this state.
   
   B. Any dentist who is in good standing with the Board shall, upon
   application to the Board and payment of a fee established by the rules
   of the Board, receive a certificate which shall attest that the
   dentist is in good standing with the Board.
