(f) The license is unencumbered and verified as active and current through processes defined by the Board; and

(g) Satisfactory evidence of successfully passing a clinical examination administered by any state, national testing agency or other Board-recognized testing agency.

(2) The temporary license shall expire on the following date, whichever occurs first:

(a) Oregon is no longer the duty station of the active armed forces member; or

(b) The license in the state used to obtain a temporary license expires; or

(c) Two years after the issuance of the temporary license.

(3) This temporary license is not renewable. If the dates in section two of this rule are exceeded and the spouse continues to practice in Oregon, the spouse must apply for an active Oregon license.
