Current through Register Vol. 50, No. 9, September 20, 2024

A. The board may issue a provisional temporary permit to an applicant for any license or permit provided for by these rules who is otherwise completely qualified for such license or permit, save for the board having received a report from the Louisiana bureau of criminal identification and information of the office of state police within the Department of Public Safety and Corrections (Bureau) or the Federal Bureau of Investigation of the United States Department of Justice (FBI), concerning state and national criminal history record information which the board has requested pursuant to the Medical Practice Act or by these rules, provided that the applicant has completed all applicable requirements and procedures for issuance of a license or permit, submitted or attempted to submit fingerprints and all other required information to the board necessary to obtain criminal history record information and paid all applicable fees and costs prescribed by these rules and the Medical Practice Act.

B. A provisional temporary permit issued under this Section shall be of the same type and scope, and subject to the same terms and restrictions, as the license or permit applied for, provided, however, that a provisional temporary permit issued under this Section shall expire, and become null and void, on the earlier of:

1. 90 days from the date of issuance of such permit; or

2. the date on which the board gives notice to the applicant of its final action granting or denying issuance of the license or permit applied for following its receipt of criminal history record information.

C. The board may, in its discretion:

1. extend or renew for one or more additional 90-day periods, a provisional temporary permit issued hereunder which has expired pursuant to §402. B 1, in favor of an applicant who holds a provisional temporary permit issued under this Section who has submitted or attempted to submit fingerprints and all other required information and paid all applicable fees and costs attendant thereto but whose criminal history record information has not been received from the bureau or the FBI within 90 days from issuance of such provisional temporary permit; or

2. issue the license or permit applied for to an individual holding a temporary permit under this Section whose fingerprints are rejected by the bureau or the FBI provided, however, that such individual shall submit such additional sets of fingerprints as may be required for the board to receive criminal history record information or as otherwise deemed appropriate by the board.

D. The board may waive the procedures and requirements for submitting, requesting and obtaining criminal history record information, specified in §402 A, for a non-renewable provisional temporary permit issued under this Subchapter that is effective for not more than 90 days or an emergency temporary permit issued under §412 of these rules.
