§ 43-60-04 — Temporary license

1. The board may issue a temporary license to an applicant who pays the temporary
license fee and meets all the qualifications for licensure, except the successful

obtaining the temporary license. If a temporary licensee fails the first sitting of the

reapply for another temporary license. A temporary license may not be issued or
reissued if the applicant failed the certification examination three times.
3. A temporary license expires on the occurrence of the following:
a. Issuance of a regular license;
b. Failure to pass the board-approved examination; or
c. Expiration of the term for which the temporary license was issued.
4. A temporary licensee's practice is limited to practice under the supervision of a
licensed genetic counselor or under the supervision of a physician approved by the
board if that physician has a current ABMG certification in clinical genetics.
