Expedited licensure by endorsement. (Repealed

effective July 1, 2028.) A. The board shall grant a license to an applicant who presents a valid, unrestricted license as an occupational therapist or an occupational therapy assistant in another licensing jurisdiction and is in good standing with the licensing board of that licensing jurisdiction. The board shall, as soon as practicable but no later than thirty days after an out-of-state licensee files an application for an expedited license accompanied by required fees, process the application and issue the expedited license in accordance with Section 61-1-31.1 NMSA 1978. B. If the out-of-state licensee was licensed in a jurisdiction that did not require passage of the national examination for certification in occupational therapy, the board may require the licensee to pass that examination to continue to be licensed in New Mexico. C. The board shall determine the other states and territories of the United States and the District of Columbia from which it will not accept applicants for expedited licensure and the foreign countries from which it will accept applicants for expedited licensure. The board shall post the list of disapproved and approved licensing jurisdictions on its website. The list of disapproved licensing jurisdictions shall include the specific reasons for disapproval. The lists shall be reviewed annually to determine if amendments to the rule are warranted.
