Nonresidents who are nationally certified by the National Association of the Deaf, the National Cued Speech Association or the Registry of Interpreters for the Deaf, Inc. are exempt from licensure so long as they provide interpreting or transliterating services in this State for no more than 20 days during any single calendar year.

Each partial day of interpreting or transliterating shall be counted as a full day.

A nonresident providing interpreting or transliterating services under this exemption shall provide evidence of his or her certification by the National Association of the Deaf, the National Cued Speech Association, or the Registry of Interpreters for the Deaf, Inc
