If the applicant is unable to supply written certifications from previous employers, applicants may offer written certifications from persons other than employers who, based on personal knowledge, can substantiate the employment; and
(c) Pay any additional fees as established by the director.
(2) An agency license issued under this section may not be assigned or transferred without prior written approval of the director.
