Application Review, Approval, Denial

(1) Initial review of all applications to determine whether the application file is complete may be delegated by the Board to the Board administrator. (2) The Board shall review all applications to grant or deny an application for licensure; however, the Board may appoint a designee to make a recommendation as to whether a license should be granted or denied. The final approval of all applications reviewed by the Board’s designee shall be made by the Board. (3) After the Board or the Board’s designee reviews a completed application and renders a decision or recommendation about whether the license should be granted or denied, the Board office shall notify the applicant within fifteen (15) working days after that decision is made. In the event that a recommendation about the granting or denial of the license is made by the Board designee before the Board grants or denies, the Board office shall notify the applicant of the designee’s recommendation and/or deficiencies in the application, informing the applicant that the determination shall not be effective until the Board makes a decision. (4) If an applicant receives notification from the Board office informing the applicant that the application is incomplete or requires additional information or documentation, the applicant has thirty (30) days from the date of the Board office notification to submit the additional information or documentation; otherwise, the application shall be closed and the applicant may reapply. GENERAL RULES AND REGULATIONS CHAPTER 1365-01 (5) Once the applicant is deemed eligible to sit for the examination for the applicable category of licensure, the applicant shall have twelve (12) months from the date the application is approved to pass the examination. (6) If the applicant fails to complete the application by failing to pass the required examination or failing to submit the required information pursuant to rule 1365-01-.04, then the application shall be closed and the applicant may reapply. (7) The Board, in its discretion, may waive the twelve (12) month requirement in extraordinary circumstances. To apply for a waiver an applicant must provide the Board with written documentation of the extraordinary circumstances.
