If the individual is licensed in another state or states, the individual must also demonstrate that the individual's license has been active and in good standing in all states in which the individual is licensed for the three years prior to application.

Subp. 2. Expiration or voluntary termination of license (Repealed).

Subp. 3. Revoked or suspended license.
