OPINIONS OF THE ATTORNEY GENERAL Editor’s notes. - In light of the similarity of the statutory provisions, opinions under former Code 1933, §§ 84-3109 and 84-3110 are included in the annotations for this Code section. Standards for temporary licensing of one licensed in another state. - For whatever reason a temporary license would be awarded to a person licensed in

another state, it is advisable to first determine whether the foreign state’s licensing standards are equal to or higher than those of this state; for persons not licensed by another state, the same standards applied to all other applicants for a temporary license should apply. 1969 Op.
