the payment of a fee of not to exceed a maximum of one hundred fifty
dollars ($150), may issue a license as a professional engineer or
professional land surveyor to any person who holds a license issued
to the applicant by the proper authority of any state, territory or
possession of the United States, the District of Columbia, or of a
foreign country, provided that, in the opinion of the board, the applicant
possesses the education, experience and examination credentials, or
their equivalents, that were specified in the applicable licensing
chapter in effect in this state at the time such license was issued,
provided that a professional land surveyor applicant must successfully
pass a land surveying examination as prepared and administered by
the board, and provided such state, territory, possession or country
will license, without examination and upon substantially the same

this chapter. In the event the applicant has been licensed and has
practiced as a professional engineer or professional land surveyor
in another jurisdiction for a minimum of eight (8) years, has no outstanding
disciplinary action, and is in good standing under a licensing system
which, in the opinion of the board, maintains substantially equivalent
professional standards as required under this chapter, the board may,
in its discretion, waive the requirement for satisfaction of prescriptive
credentials in education and examination.
