Section 13:44H-3.4 - Requirements for temporary license for licensees of other jurisdictions

(a) The Board shall issue a temporary license to an individual licensed in another state which has licensing standards equivalent to those in this State if the individual:

(b) The temporary license shall authorize its holder to practice in the field in which the holder was licensed in the other state. For example, an individual licensed in another state as an orthotist may only practice as an orthotist in this State pursuant to a temporary license.

(c) The holder of a temporary license shall be supervised by a licensee pursuant to 13:44H-3.6(d).

(d) A temporary license shall be issued for a one-year period. The holder of a temporary license shall take the first available licensing examination administered after receipt of the temporary license. An applicant who does not take the next administered examination for reasons of hardship such as illness, disability or other good cause may take the examination offered after the next administered examination. At the end of the one-year period, the Board may renew the temporary license if the holder has taken the first scheduled examination, shows good cause for the renewal and if the renewal of the temporary license would serve the well-being and interests of the clients of the establishment in which the holder practices. The holder of a renewed temporary license shall be supervised pursuant to 13:44H-3.6(c).

(e) An application for renewal of the temporary license shall be sent to the Board at least 90 days before the temporary license expires. The holder of a renewed temporary license shall take the next available examination after the temporary license is renewed. The renewed temporary license shall expire immediately after the results of the second licensing examination are issued.

(f) A person whose temporary license has expired shall cease working as an orthotist, prosthetist or prosthetist-orthotist, but may continue to take the licensing examination. If the person passes the licensing examination he or she shall, within 60 days, apply for licensure pursuant to 13:44H-3.1.
