    54-1607.  ISSUANCE OF LICENSE -- EXEMPTION -- EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS --
ADMINISTRATION OF FEDERAL FUNDS BY BOARD. (1) An applicant for a license as a
nursing home administrator who has successfully complied with the requirements
of section  54-1605, Idaho Code, and the standards provided for therein, has
passed the examination provided for in section 54-1606, Idaho Code, and, where
applicable, has complied with the requirements of section 54-1610, Idaho Code,
shall be issued a license, on a form provided for that purpose by the board,
certifying that such applicant has met the requirements of the laws and rules
entitling him to serve, act, practice, and otherwise hold himself out as a
duly licensed nursing home administrator; provided, however, nothing in this
act or the rules thereunder shall be construed to require an applicant for a
license as a nursing home administrator, who is certified by a recognized
church or religious denomination which teaches reliance on spiritual means
alone for healing as having been approved to administer institutions certified
by such church or denomination for the care and treatment of the sick in
accordance with its teachings, to demonstrate proficiency in any medical
techniques or to meet any medical educational qualifications or medical
standards not in accord with the remedial care and treatment provided in such
institutions.
    (2)  Any license issued by the board under or pursuant to the provisions
of this section shall be under the hand and seal of the chairman and executive
secretary of the board.
    (3)  If the board finds that programs of training and instruction
conducted within the state are not sufficient in number or content to enable
applicants for nursing home administrators' licenses and nursing home
administrators to meet requirements established pursuant to this act, it shall
institute and conduct or arrange with others to conduct one (1) or more such
programs, and shall make provision for their accessibility to appropriate
residents of this state. The board may approve programs conducted within and
without this state as sufficient to meet education and training requirements
established pursuant to this act. For purposes of this subsection, the board
shall have the authority to receive and disburse federal funds received
pursuant to requirements of the "social security act."
