        153.19  TEMPORARY PERMIT -- FEES.
         1.  The board may, in its discretion, issue a temporary permit
      authorizing the permit holder to practice dentistry or dental hygiene
      in a specific location or locations and for a specified period of
      time if, in the opinion of the board, a need exists and the person
      possesses the qualifications prescribed by the board for the permit,
      which shall be substantially equivalent to those required for
      licensure under this chapter.  The board shall determine in each
      instance those eligible for this permit, whether or not examinations
      shall be given, and the type of examinations.  None of the
      requirements for regular licensure under this chapter are mandatory
      for a temporary permit except as specifically designated by the
      board.  The issuance of a temporary permit shall not in any way
      indicate that the permit holder is necessarily eligible for regular
      licensure, nor is the board in any way obligated to so license the
      person.
         2.  A temporary permit shall be issued for a period determined by
      the board and may be renewed at the discretion of the board.  The fee
      for a temporary permit and the fee for renewal shall be set by the
      board.  The fees shall be based on the administrative costs of
      issuing and renewing the permits.
