Ohio Administrative Code
Title 4101:16 - Ohio Construction Industry Licensing Board
Chapter 4101:16-2 - Administrative Section
Section 4101:16-2-10 - Reciprocity

(A) Upon application to the appropriate specialty section and payment of the fee specified in rule 4101:16-2-09 of the Administrative Code for the issuance of a license, the appropriate section shall direct the administrative section to issue, without examination, a license to an individual licensed in another state of the United States. Such issuance of a license is contingent upon a determination by the appropriate specialty section that the requirements for licensure under the laws of the other state are substantially equal to the licensure requirements under Chapter 4740. of the Revised Code and that the other state has entered into a written reciprocity agreement with the appropriate section of the board. Such issuance of a license is also contingent upon receipt of a completed criminal records check performed pursuant to rule 4101:16-2-02 of the Administrative Code and the Ohio construction industry licensing board having determined, in its discretion, whether the result of the criminal records check makes the applicant ineligible for a license.

(B) Any person who is granted a license pursuant to paragraph (A) of this rule and fails to meet the continuing education requirements in rule 4101:16-2-08 of the Administrative Code, pay the renewal fee pursuant to rule 4101:16-2-09 of the Administrative Code, or maintain the appropriate amount of contractor's insurance may apply one time for late renewal pursuant to rule 4101:16-2-07 of the Administrative Code.

(C) Any person who fails to renew their license in the normal renewal time frame and under late renewal or who has been previously granted a late renewal shall not be granted another late renewal or granted another license under reciprocity, but shall be required to file an application for the examination pursuant to rule 4101:16-2-02 of the Administrative Code.
