(1) A civil judgment issued in another state, a criminal conviction in another state, or another professional disciplinary action in another state, if the judgment, conviction, or professional disciplinary action is based solely on the application of another state’s law that interferes with a person’s right to receive care that would be lawful if provided in this state.
