(1) During an emergency declared by the Governor pursuant to ORS 401.165 and subject to terms and conditions that the Board may impose, the Board may issue a limited certificate to a nursing assistant authorized in another state or U.S. jurisdiction when the following requirements are met:

(a) A completed application (application fee waived) is received by the Board; and

(b) Using instructions provided by the Board, the applicant must arrange for primary source verification of the active unencumbered nursing assistant certification in another state or jurisdiction.

(2) The limited certification shall expire on the following date, whichever occurs first:

(a) The Oregon Governor-Declared Emergency declaration expires; or

(b) The certification in the state or jurisdiction used to obtain the limited certification expires; or

(c) Two years after the issuance of the limited certification.

(3) Non-Renewable Limited Certification: A limited certification is not renewable and expires based on whichever occurs first in OAR 851-062-0061(2). The individual must apply for permanent Oregon certification by endorsement in order to continue performing nursing assistant duties in Oregon. Continuing to work in Oregon after the limited certification has expired is considered practicing without a valid certification and is subject to Board action.

(a) A new state of emergency has been declared by the Governor; and

(b) The individual has not been issued permanent Oregon CNA certification by endorsement; and

(d) A qualified applicant must:
(A) Submit a completed reactivation application (application fee waived) to the Board; and
