ARM 24.177.504. TEMPORARY LICENSES

(1) Applicants for licensure who are holders of a license in another state may be issued a temporary license to practice pending licensure by the board. An interview with at least one board member may be required. Said temporary license will terminate when the board makes its final determination on licensure. (2) Physical therapist or physical therapist assistant applicants for licensure by examination may be issued a temporary license. The temporary license shall identify the licensed physical therapist who shall be responsible for providing direct supervision. After issuance of the temporary license, the applicant must take his/her examination within 120 days of the issuance date. The temporary license shall be valid until the board makes its final determination on licensure, but may be extended at the board's discretion. Only one temporary license will be issued per applicant. (3) If the applicant fails the NPTE, the applicant may sit for the next scheduled examination. Temporary licenses will not be extended while the applicant is waiting to retake the NPTE examination.
