Section 20:41:05:05 - Reciprocity

The fee for a license granted pursuant to SDCL 36-5-13 is $300, all but $100 of which is refundable if license is not issued. An applicant seeking reciprocity shall include with the required application a certification from the applicable state board of chiropractic examiners showing the date, license number, state, and ratings or record of examination of the applicant in chiropractic subjects and basic science subjects, National Board of Chiropractic Examiners diploma and grades, including the general average received, the status of the license issued, and a recommendation concerning good moral character and the worthiness of the applicant for reciprocal recognition. An applicant seeking reciprocity shall also meet the following criteria:

(1) Has passed all parts of national boards required at the time of graduation;

(2) Has actively practiced a minimum of five years immediately preceding the submission of the application;

(3) Has no investigations pending; and

(4) Has no adverse actions taken by another state board.

After review of an applicant's application and record, if the board has any remaining concerns about an applicant's clinical competency, the board may require the applicant to take and pass the National Board of Chiropractic Examiners (NBCE) Special Purposes Examination for Chiropractic (SPEC) or the National Board of Chiropractic Examiners Part IV Examination. The board shall determine the score for passage and shall consider the NBCE recommended score to make that determination.
