§ 43-51-04 — Emergency practice without a license

Upon prior written notice to the appropriate board, a foreign practitioner may provide
services in this state which fall within the scope of practice designated by the foreign
practitioner's license and by this title without obtaining a license from the board, if the services
are provided in response to a disaster or emergency declared by the appropriate authority in
this state. The notice provided by a foreign practitioner under this section must include verified
documentation from the appropriate licensing authority which identifies the requirements for
licensure in that jurisdiction and which confirms that the practitioner is licensed and in good
standing in that jurisdiction and any other information requested by the board. A notice provided
under this section, if accompanied by sufficient documentation, is deemed to be accepted
unless denied by the board. If a notice under this section is denied, the foreign practitioner
immediately shall cease providing services under this section and may not resume providing
services until after a successful appeal of the board's decision under chapter 28-32 or after an
application for privileges under this section is reviewed and approved by the board.
