Article 2 - Application
Section 1399.151 - Application for License
Current through Register 2024 Notice Reg. No. 12, March 22, 2024
(a) An application for a license as a speech-language pathologist or audiologist shall be filed with the Board at its principal office.
(b) Every application shall be typed or written in ink, signed under the penalty of perjury and accompanied by the appropriate application fee and by such evidence, statements, or documents as therein required.
(c) The applicant shall be notified, in writing, of the results of the evaluation of the application for license if the application is rejected.
(d) An applicant shall be deemed to have abandoned his or her licensure application if the requirements for licensure are not completed within two years from the date on which application was filed unless the applicant has requested extension by the Board. An application submitted subsequent to an abandoned application shall be treated as a new application.
(e) In addition to any other requirements for licensure, whenever it appears that an applicant for a license may be unable to practice speech-language pathology or audiology safely because the applicant's ability to practice may be impaired due to mental or physical illness affecting competency, the Board may require the applicant to be examined by one or more physicians and surgeons or psychologists designated by the Board. The Board shall pay the full cost of such examination. An applicant's failure to comply with the requirement shall render his or her application incomplete. The report of the evaluation shall be made available to the applicant. If after receiving the evaluation report the Board determines that the applicant is unable to safely practice, the Board may deny the application.
