§2278. Temporary license

A temporary license may be granted to a person who has completed the education and level II fieldwork requirements of this chapter and who has also received NBCOT approval to sit for the appropriate certification examination. This temporary license allows the holder to practice occupational therapy under the supervision of a licensed occupational therapist. Temporary licensees shall take the first available national examination for which they become eligible. [1997, c. 294, §5 (RPR).]

A temporary license is valid until the results of the national examination are made available to the board. If the person has passed the national examination, a license must be issued under sections 2279 and 2280-A. The temporary license of a person who has failed the examination may be renewed one time at the discretion of the board. [1997, c. 294, §5 (NEW).]

If, for a legitimate reason, a person holding a temporary license does not take the first available national examination for which the person becomes eligible, the person must submit a letter to the board explaining the circumstances. After review, the board, at its discretion, may renew the person's temporary license once to allow the person to sit for the next scheduled national examination. [1997, c. 294, §5 (NEW).]

A temporary license may not be renewed more than once. [1997, c. 294, §5 (NEW).]

Foreign trained applicants must receive approval to sit for the examination from NBCOT in order to be eligible for a temporary license. [1997, c. 294, §5 (NEW).]
