(2)compliance with the request for assistance would violate or otherwise prejudice the public policy of this state;
(3)the conduct described in the request would also constitute a violation of this title or another law of this state had the conduct occurred in this state; and
(4)board employees and board or commissioner resources necessary to carry out the request for assistance are available.
