Approval of such agreements by the Governor, or any other officer or agency of this state, shall not be required; and (2) Issue podiatry licenses by reciprocity or endorsement, and without further examination, to persons who have been duly licensed upon written examination in another state having qualifications and standards at least as high as those of this state, or who provide certified evidence to the board directly from the National Board of Podiatric Medical Examiners that he or she has passed all parts of the American Podiatric Medical Licensing Examination within the past ten (10) years.
