149.7 - TEMPORARY LICENSE.
149.7 TEMPORARY LICENSE.
1. The board may issue a temporary license authorizing the
licensee to practice podiatry if, in the opinion of the board, a need
exists and the person possesses the qualifications prescribed by the
board for the temporary license, which shall be substantially
equivalent to those required for permanent licensure under this
chapter. The board shall determine in each instance the applicant's
eligibility for the temporary license, whether or not an examination
shall be given, and the type of examination. The requirements of the
law pertaining to permanent licensure shall not be mandatory for
temporary licensure except as specifically designated by the board.
The granting of a temporary license does not in any way indicate that
the person licensed is necessarily eligible for permanent licensure,
and the board is not obligated to issue a permanent license to the
person.
2. The board shall determine the duration of time a person is
qualified to practice podiatry while holding a temporary license.
The fee for this license shall be set by the board, and if extended
beyond one year, a renewal fee per year shall be set by the board.
The fees shall be based on the administrative costs of issuing and
renewing the temporary licenses. Section History: Early Form
