54-2111. TEMPORARY PERMIT. The board may, at its discretion, issue a temporary permit to an applicant who has passed the NBE and Idaho jurisprudence exam but who has not yet taken the CCT, or to a new graduate, or a currently practicing veterinarian licensed in another state or states, who has fulfilled the requirements for licensure in this state or to a graduate of a nonaccredited or nonapproved school of veterinary medicine that has fulfilled the requirements of section 54-2107, Idaho Code, and the rules of the board. Temporary permits shall be valid until the next license application review by the board or for no more than one (1) year, during which time the applicants issued a temporary permit without having taken the CCT or fulfilling the requirements of section 54-2107(5), Idaho Code, shall take and pass the CCT. Under no circumstances shall a second temporary permit be issued to the same person, except in the case of a temporary permit issued to a graduate of a nonaccredited or nonapproved school of veterinary medicine, which may be renewed for up to three (3) years. If, at the end of the three (3) year period, the applicant has completed the requirements of the approved educational equivalence program, but has not received official notification, the expiration date for the temporary permit may be extended until official notification is received. A temporary permit shall not be issued to any applicant whose license has been revoked in any state for a reason other than nonpayment of license renewal fees. An applicant granted a temporary permit shall provide verification that during the twelve (12) months immediately preceding issuance of the temporary permit he has been in active veterinary practice in another state or shall work under the professional supervision of an actively licensed veterinarian. Pursuant to United States department of agriculture veterinary services memorandum number 572.1, an applicant working under a supervised temporary permit will not be allowed to become federally accredited in Idaho until the first year’s license has been granted.
