309.088 Reciprocity for licensure, certification, and registration.

(1) The board may permit an out-of-state certified clinical supervisor, licensed alcohol

and drug counselor, licensed clinical alcohol and drug counselor, certified alcohol

and drug counselor, associate alcohol and drug counselor II, associate alcohol and

drug counselor I, or alcohol and drug peer support specialist to obtain a license,

certificate, or registration by reciprocity if:

(a) The out-of-state licensee, certificate holder, or registrant possesses a valid

license, certificate, or registration from another jurisdiction that grants the

same privileges to persons licensed, certified, or registered by this state as

Kentucky grants to persons licensed, certified, or registered by the other

jurisdiction;

(b) The requirements for licensure, certification, or registration are substantially

similar to the requirements in KRS 309.080 to 309.089; and

(c) The out-of-state licensee, certificate holder, or registrant seeking licensure,

certification, or registration states that he or she has studied, is familiar with,

and shall abide by KRS 309.080 to 309.089 and the administrative regulations

promulgated thereunder.

(2) If the requirements for licensure, certification, or registration under KRS 309.080 to

309.089 are more restrictive than the standards of the other jurisdiction, then the

out-of-state licensee, certificate holder, or registrant shall comply with the

additional requirements in KRS 309.080 to 309.089 to obtain a reciprocal license,

certificate, or registration.
