Whenever, in the opinion of the executive director, based upon verified
information contained in the application, an applicant for a license to practice
as a physician assistant is eligible therefor under subsections (1) and (2) of
KRS 311.844, the executive director may issue to the applicant, on behalf of
the board, a temporary license which shall entitle the holder to practice as a
physician assistant for a maximum of six (6) months from the date of issuance
unless the temporary license is canceled by the executive director, who may
cancel it at any time, without a hearing, for reasons deemed sufficient with
appropriate consultation with the president, and who shall cancel it immediately
upon direction by the board or upon the board's denial of the holder's
application for a regular license. The temporary license shall not be renewable.
The executive director shall present to the board the application for licensure
made by the holder of the temporary license. If the board issues a regular
license to the holder of a temporary license, the fee paid in connection with the
temporary license shall be applied to the regular license fee.
If the executive director cancels a temporary license, he or she shall promptly
notify, by United States certified mail, the holder of the temporary license at the
last known address on file with the board. The temporary license shall be
terminated and of no further force or effect three (3) days after the date the
notice was sent by certified mail.
