A. An expedited license shall be valid for the same length of time as a regular initial license issued by the board. Initial licenses, including expedited licenses, may be issued for a period greater than twelve months, but less than 24 months, in order to align the license expiration date with the board's renewal cycle.
B. A licensee holding an expedited license may apply for license renewal in the manner provided by the board's rules, provided that, if the licensee holding an expedited license was not required by the licensee's licensing jurisdiction outside of New Mexico to pass a national or state examination normally required for licensure in New Mexico, the licensee shall be required to pass the examination prior to renewing the license.
C. Upon renewal, the board shall issue a regular license to a licensee holding an expedited license issued pursuant to these rules.
