Upon receipt of notice from a reciprocal state of a disciplinary action relating to any of the certifications or licenses issued to a miner who also holds corresponding licenses or certifications issued by the Office of Mine Safety and Licensing, the commissioner shall impose analogous sanctions against the miner's Kentucky licenses or certifications. These sanctions shall terminate upon proof of compliance with the orders from the reciprocal state. Effective:July 12, 2012 History: Amended 2012 Ky.
