The Law States that

“At the time of application, have at least 3 years of experience as a mold assessor or mold remediator. To establish the 3 years of experience, an applicant must submit at least 40 invoices for mold assessment or mold remediation prepared by the applicant.”

So…..

Is the Law asking for an applicant to have 3 years of experience and provide 40 invoices to establish the 3 years?

OR

Is the Law asking for the applicant to have 3 years experience OR submit 40 invoices over any period of time that could be as little as 6 months?
