Oklahoma Statutes - Title 59. Professions and Occupations

their Multistate License in their new Home State. The Licensee

shall pay all applicable fees and notify the prior Home State in

accordance with the Rules of the Commission;

2. Upon receipt of an application to reissue a Multistate

License, the new Home State shall verify that the Multistate License

is active, unencumbered and eligible for reissuance under the terms

of the Compact and the Rules of the Commission. The Multistate

License issued by the prior Home State will be deactivated and all

Member States notified in accordance with the applicable Rules

adopted by the Commission;

3. Prior to the reissuance of the Multistate License, the new

Home State shall conduct procedures for considering the criminal

history records of the Licensee. Such procedures shall include the

and the agency responsible for retaining that State’s criminal

records;

4. If required for initial licensure, the new Home State may

require completion of jurisprudence requirements in the new Home

State;

5. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Compact, if a

Licensee does not meet the requirements set forth in this Compact

for the reissuance of a Multistate License by the new Home State,

then the Licensee shall be subject to the new Home State

requirements for the issuance of a Single State License in that

State.

C. If a Licensee changes their primary State of residence by

moving from a Member State to a non-Member State, or from a nonMember State to a Member State, then the Licensee shall be subject

to the State requirements for the issuance of a Single State License

in the new Home State.

ability to hold a Single State License in multiple States; however,

for the purposes of this Compact, a Licensee shall have only one

Home State, and only one Multistate License.

E. Nothing in this Compact shall interfere with the

requirements established by a Member State for the issuance of a

Single State License.
