TEMPORARY LICENSE

Subpart 1. Issuance. Pending completion of an investigation of qualifications and fitness, and a decision by the commission to issue or deny a Class C license, the commission may grant a temporary license and badge to a person who has filed a complete and sufficient application for a Class C license and paid all applicable fees, which are nonrefundable. A temporary license must be granted if: A. the applicant desires to act in a capacity for which a Class C license is required prior to the time the commission will make a decision on his or her application; and B. the commission does not have reason to believe that the applicant is ineligible for the Class C license he or she seeks. Subp. 2. Termination. A temporary license shall carry no presumption of qualifications or fitness and may be terminated summarily by the commission for cause. A temporary license shall terminate upon a decision of the commission to issue or deny a Class C license, upon voluntary withdrawal of the application for a Class C license, or 60 days after the grant of the temporary license, whichever occurs first. An individual whose license is denied or who withdraws an application for a Class C license shall immediately surrender the individual's badge to the commission.
