The Board of Veterinary Medical Examiners, without examination, may issue a license to practice veterinary medicine to a citizen of the United States or a resident of South Dakota who has been actively engaged in such profession in some other state, territory, or the District of Columbia, upon the certificate of the proper licensing authority of that state, territory, or the District of Columbia, certifying that the applicant is duly licensed, that his license has never been suspended or revoked, and that in so far as records of that authority are concerned, the applicant is entitled to its endorsement. The state, territory, or District of Columbia from which the applicant comes shall have and maintain standards regulating the profession at least equal to those maintained in the profession in South Dakota. In order that the board may determine such standards, the secretary of the examining board shall gather information from other states bearing on this point. Such license shall only be issued to those filing application with the secretary of the board accompanied by a fee not to exceed twenty-five dollars. The fee shall be set by the board by rule promulgated pursuant to chapter 1-26.
