§ 149.7 — Temporary license

Iowa § 149.7

• Jurisdiction: Iowa
• Title IV: PUBLIC HEALTH
• Ch. 149: PODIATRY

Text

1. The board may issue a temporary license authorizing the licensee to practice podiatry
if, in the opinion of the board, a need exists and the person possesses the qualifications
prescribed by the board for the temporary license, which shall be substantially equivalent
to those required for permanent licensure under this chapter. The board shall determine
in each instance the applicant’s eligibility for the temporary license, whether or not an
examination shall be given, and the type of examination. The requirements of the law
pertaining to permanent licensure shall not be mandatory for temporary licensure except as
specifically designated by the board. The granting of a temporary license does not in any
way indicate that the person licensed is necessarily eligible for permanent licensure, and the
board is not obligated to issue a permanent license to the person.
2. The board shall determine the duration of time a person is qualified to practice podiatry
while holding a temporary license. The fee for this license shall be set by the board, and if
extended beyond one year, a renewal fee per year shall be set by the board. The fees shall be
based on the administrative costs of issuing and renewing the temporary licenses.
