(1) If the Division determines that an applicant has not satisfied any certification standard set forth in 555 CMR 9.08(2), the Division may conditionally certify the applicant where:
(2) If the Division determines that an applicant has satisfied all certification standards set forth in 555 CMR 9.08(2), the Division may nevertheless conditionally certify the applicant where it deems a conditional certification warranted, pursuant to M.G.L. c. 6E, §§ 3(a) and 4.
(3) Where the Division conditionally certifies an applicant pursuant to 555 CMR 9.09(1) or (2), it shall set appropriate conditions that must be met in order for the applicant to maintain a certification.
(4) In any case, the Division may attach to an applicant's certification any limitations or restrictions that it deems warranted, pursuant to M.G.L. c. 6E, §§ 3(a) and 4.
(5) Where an applicant is conditionally certified:
(6) When an applicant fails to satisfy a condition of a conditional certification within the time allowed, taking into account the provisions of 555 CMR 9.09(5), the Division shall terminate the applicant's certification, unless good cause for an extension of time for the applicant to satisfy the condition has been shown.
(7) When an applicant satisfies all conditions of a conditional certification within the time allowed, taking into account the provisions of 555 CMR 9.09(5), and the Commission has not otherwise limited, restricted, or suspended the applicant's certification, the Division shall convert the conditional certification into a full certification with an expiration date of three calendar years from the date of issuance of the conditional certification under 555 CMR 9.12(2).
(8) An applicant's failure to act in accordance with a limitation or restriction on a certification may constitute grounds for disciplinary action pursuant to M.G.L. c. 6E, §§ 3(a), 4(f)(4), 8, 9, and/or 10.
(9) In all other respects, an individual who holds a conditional, limited, or restricted certification is "certified," as that term is used in M.G.L. c. 6E.
