HAR §16-85-39. Waiver or modification of requirements

Any licensee seeking renewal of license without full compliance with the CME requirements shall submit with the renewal application, the required fee, a notarized affidavit setting forth the facts explaining the reasons for noncompliance, and a request for waiver or modification on the basis of the facts. The board shall consider each case on an individual basis and may grant waiver or modification of the requirements based on: (1) Practice in isolated geographical areas with an absence of opportunities for CME by taped programs or otherwise; or (2) Inability to devote sufficient hours to CME because of incapacity, undue hardship, or any other extenuating circumstances.
