32-2814. Issuance of certificates; temporary certificates; special permits A. The board shall issue a certificate to each candidate who has paid the prescribed fee and who either has successfully passed the examination or has been accepted pursuant to section 32-2812. B. The board, on application, may issue a special permit to exempt a person from the provisions of this chapter if the board finds to its satisfaction that there is substantial evidence that the people in the locality of the state in which such exemption is sought would be denied adequate medical care because of unavailability of certified licensed practitioners or persons holding certificates pursuant to this chapter. The board shall issue a special permit for a limited period of time, not to exceed one year, to be prescribed by the board in accordance with the purposes of this chapter. The board may renew a permit if the circumstances have not changed. C. The board through its designated representative may issue a temporary certificate to any person whose certification or recertification is pending and in whose case the issuance of a temporary certificate may be justified by reason of special circumstances. D. A temporary certificate shall be issued only if the board or its designated representative finds that its issuance will not violate the purposes of this chapter or tend to endanger the public health and safety. A temporary certificate expires thirty days after the date of the next examination if the applicant is required to take the examination or, if the applicant does not take the examination, then on the date of the examination. In all other cases, a temporary certificate expires when the determination is made either to issue, or to deny the issuance of, a certificate. A temporary certificate shall not be valid for more than one hundred eighty days and may not be renewed more than once. E. A person shall submit an application for certification in a form prescribed by the board. The board may require that the application include other evidence of qualification. |
