The board may waive documentation requirements for any new or pending applications when the disaster delays or prohibits the procuring of the required documents. The board will determine the length of time the emergency provisions will be in effect for each major disaster that results in applications for a federal emergency license.
A. Federal emergency license. The board may waive specific requirements in Subsections B and D of 16.10.15.9 NMAC if the applicant is unable to obtain the documentation from individuals or institutions located in the disaster area.
B. License expiration. Initial federal emergency licenses shall be valid for not less than three months or more than fifteen months. Licenses shall be renewed on March 1 following the date of issue, pursuant to 16.10.15.18 NMAC. The board reserves the right to request additional documentation, including but not limited to recommendation forms and work experience verification forms prior to approving license renewal. At the time a federal emergency license is approved for renewal it will be transferred to a full medical license.
C. License renewal. The temporary federal emergency license may be renewed one time for a period of not more than twelve months with a prorated fee of $75.00, provided the federal emergency is still in effect.
