	a. 	The applicant is a nonresident of Iowa;
	b. 	The applicant possesses a valid plumbing, HVAC, refrigeration, or hydronic license issued from a state with which the board has entered into a reciprocity agreement;
	c. 	The applicant has paid the appropriate fee or fees required in 641—Chapter 28;
	d. 	The applicant meets the minimum qualifications for licensure in rule 641—29.4(105); and

For purposes of this subrule, a “disciplinary action” includes the voluntary surrender of a license to resolve a pending disciplinary investigation or proceeding.
