No occupation competency certificate may be issued under subparagraph 1 of the first paragraph to a person who has already held such a certificate unless an employer registered with the Commission files a workforce request, guarantees that person employment for not less than 150 hours over a period not exceeding 3 months and provides the Commission with proof of the guarantee.
