Universal Citation: SD Admin Rules 46:31:02:04.02
Current through Register Vol. 51, page 43, September 23, 2024

The division shall consider granting a one-year extension of the continuing education maintenance cycle upon written request by an interpreter in good standing. The request and accompanying documentation must be submitted prior to the end of the interpreter's current four-year cycle.

The division shall grant an extension based on the inability to accrue the required number of continuing education contact hours for any sudden and unforeseeable traumatic, catastrophic, life-altering event that disrupts the life of the certified interpreter or an immediate family member for a considerable amount of time.

The granting of the extension does not delay the beginning of the interpreter's new cycle. Once sufficient contact hours have been earned to complete the extended cycle, any subsequent contact hours shall be applied to the interpreter's new cycle.
