    (a)  Have submitted a written application in the form prescribed by the
    board of pharmacy.
    (b)  Have attained the age of majority.
    (c)  Have good moral character and temperate habits.
    (d)  Have possessed at the time of initial licensure as a pharmacist such
    other qualifications necessary to have been eligible for licensure at that
    time in this state.
    (e)  Have engaged in the practice of pharmacy for a period of at least one
    (1) year or have met the internship requirements of this state within the
    one (1) year immediately previous to the date of such application.
    (f)  Have presented to the board proof of initial licensure by examination
    and proof that such license and any other license or licenses granted to
    the applicant by any other state or states have not been suspended,
    revoked, canceled or otherwise restricted for any reason except nonrenewal
    or the failure to obtain required continuing education credits in any
    state where the applicant is licensed but not engaged in the practice of
    pharmacy.
    (g)  Have paid the fees specified by the board of pharmacy for issuance of
    a license.
    (2)  Eligibility. No applicant shall be eligible for licensure by
reciprocity unless the state in which the applicant was initially licensed as
a pharmacist also grants reciprocal licensure to pharmacists duly licensed by
examination in this state, under like circumstances and conditions.
    (3)  Temporary reciprocity license.
    (a)  In conjunction with an application for a license as a pharmacist by
    reciprocity, the applicant may be granted a temporary license as a
    pharmacist upon compliance with the following terms and conditions:
         (i)   The applicant has filed a complete application for licensure by
         reciprocity and paid all fees for such application, which fees shall
         not be refundable upon grant of a temporary license;
         (ii)  The applicant has passed the state jurisprudence examination
         with a score of not less than seventy-five (75);
         (iii) The applicant submits photocopies of all current licenses to
         practice pharmacy in any other states or jurisdictions;
         (iv)  The applicant provides documentation of any and all actions
         taken against any of the applicant's licenses to practice pharmacy by
         any other state or jurisdiction, and any such action does not
         otherwise render the applicant ineligible for licensure by
         reciprocity in Idaho;
         (v)   The applicant submits evidence that the applicant has lawfully
         practiced pharmacy in the United States or its territories for the
         preceding twelve (12) months prior to filing of the application;
         (vi)  The applicant submits evidence that the applicant has completed
         all continuing education requirements of the applicant's active
         licenses for the three (3) calendar years preceding the application;
         and
         (vii) The applicant executes a sworn statement that all of the
         documents, evidence and statements of the applicant submitted to the
         board in conjunction with the application for licensure by
         reciprocity and the request for temporary licensure are true and
         correct, and that the applicant has fully disclosed all information
         required for licensure by reciprocity and for temporary licensure.
    (b)  Upon completion of the above requirements to the satisfaction of the
    executive director, the applicant may be granted a temporary license by
    reciprocity for a period of not more than sixteen (16) consecutive weeks
    as follows:
         (i)   The temporary license shall not be renewable nor may the
         applicant reapply for temporary licensure for a period of one (1)
         year after lapse of a temporary license;
         (ii)  The temporary license shall lapse automatically upon the grant
         or denial of a license by reciprocity upon subsections (1) and (2) of
         this section;
         (iii) The temporary license shall not include acting as a
         pharmacist-in-charge or as a preceptor or supervising interns or
         externs;
         (iv)  The temporary license shall be subject to discipline in the
         same manner as a full license, and shall also be subject to immediate
         suspension by the executive director upon reasonable evidence that
         the applicant has not fulfilled the requirements for such temporary
         license or that the documents, evidence and statement of the
         applicant submitted to the board are not true and correct, or that
         the applicant's disclosures required by this section are not
         complete. Suspension of a temporary license by the executive director
         shall be immediate subject only to reinstatement upon appeal by the
         applicant to the board at its next scheduled meeting; and
         (v)   In the event the temporary license lapses without the
         contemporaneous grant of full licensure by reciprocity, or the
         temporary license is suspended by the executive director, then all
         privileges allowed under the temporary license, including those
         relating to any controlled substance registration granted under the
         temporary license, shall also cease.
