Sec. 08.36.234. Licensure by credentials.
(a) The board may waive the examination requirement and license by credentials if the dentist applicant meets the requirements of AS 08.36.110, submits proof of continued competence as required by regulation, pays the required fee, and has
(1) an active license from a board of dental examiners established under the laws of a state or territory of the United States issued after thorough examination; or
(2) passed an examination as specified by the board in regulations.
(b) A dentist applying for licensure without examination is responsible for providing to the board all materials required by the board to implement this section to establish eligibility for a license without examination. In addition to the grounds for revocation of a license under AS 08.36.315, the board may revoke a license issued without examination upon evidence of misinformation or substantial omission.
(c) The board shall adopt regulations necessary to implement this section, including the form and manner of certification of qualifications under this section.

If the application is denied on the basis of the interview, the denial shall be stated in writing, with the reasons for it, and the record shall be preserved.
