(a)  No person shall be licensed as an elevator inspector to inspect elevators, escalators or new or altered dumbwaiters, unless the person is an employee of the state authorized to inspect elevators, escalators and dumbwaiters or an employee authorized to inspect elevators, escalators and dumbwaiters for any insurance company insuring such elevators, escalators and dumbwaiters in this state; provided, that the person has satisfied the board that the person has had experience in inspecting elevators, escalators and dumbwaiters, has satisfactorily passed a written examination given by the board testing the person's knowledge of this chapter and the rules and regulations adopted by the board under § 68-121-103; provided, however, that the board may license a person as an elevator inspector without such examination, if the person holds a license as an inspector of elevators for a state or city that has a standard of examination substantially equal to that provided for in this section. A written application for such examination and license shall be made upon a form to be supplied by the board upon request, and shall be accompanied by a statement of the applicant's experience, together with an examination fee of five dollars ($5.00). The examination shall be given not more than six (6) months from the date the applicant makes such application. If the applicant has the experience and successfully passes the examination, the applicant shall, upon payment to the board of a license fee of five dollars ($5.00), be entitled to a license as an elevator inspector as a matter of right, and the license shall be renewable annually at a fee of two dollars ($2.00). There shall be no limit to the number of times an applicant may seek a license as herein provided, except that a rejected applicant may not make a new application within six (6) months from the date on which the applicant is notified that the applicant has failed to qualify. A fee of five dollars ($5.00) shall be paid to the board for each subsequent examination.

(b)  If the board has reason to believe that a licensed inspector is no longer qualified to hold such licensed inspector's license, it shall give such inspector reasonable notice of the time and place of a hearing at which the board shall inquire into the inspector's fitness and competency to act as an elevator inspector. If the board finds that such inspector is no longer qualified to act as an elevator inspector, it shall revoke such inspector's license forthwith, and such inspector shall not thereafter make any inspection required under this chapter.
