36-1926. Temporary license; sponsorship;
termination of sponsorship
A. An applicant who fulfills the requirements of section 36-1923 may apply to the
director for a temporary license.
B. On receiving an application as provided by subsection A of this section,
accompanied by an application fee and proof of sponsorship, the director shall issue a
temporary license. A temporary license allows the licensee to practice the fitting and
dispensing of hearing aids for a period ending on the last day of the month following a
scheduled examination.
C. An applicant shall provide proof to the satisfaction of the director that the
applicant is or will be supervised and trained for fitting and dispensing activities by a
sponsor licensed pursuant to this chapter.
D. A sponsor may terminate sponsorship at any time and for any reason. The
director shall not review the reasons for the termination. A temporary license
terminates on the date that the director receives notice from the sponsor that the
sponsor is terminating sponsorship. This notice shall be accompanied by documentation
that the sponsor has notified the licensee of the termination. The director shall
prescribe by rule how the sponsor shall document this notification of termination. A
person whose license is terminated shall apply for a new temporary license as prescribed
by this section and shall not practice until granted a license.
E. A person shall either take the next examination that is given following issuance
of a temporary license or renew the temporary license. If the person takes and fails the
examination the person may renew the temporary license once. The person shall take the
next examination following the issuance of the renewal license. If the person does not
take the examination but renews the temporary license, the person shall take the next
examination following issuance of renewal of the temporary license.
F. The director shall not issue a renewal to a person who has renewed a temporary
license and failed the examination.
G. A temporary license expires on the last day of the month following the next
scheduled examination.
H. The director may revoke or suspend a temporary license in the same manner and
for the same reasons as prescribed pursuant to section 36-1934.
