Any person who has applied to take the examination under section 38-2518 or 38-2519 and who has completed the education and experience requirements of the Occupational Therapy Practice Act may be granted a temporary license to practice as an occupational therapist or an occupational therapy assistant. A temporary license shall allow the person to practice only in association with a licensed occupational therapist and shall be valid until the date on which the results of the next licensure examination are available to the department. The temporary license shall not be renewed if the applicant has failed the examination. The temporary license may be extended by the department, with the recommendation of the board. In no case may a temporary license be extended beyond one year.

An individual holding a temporary permit on December 1, 2008, shall be deemed to be holding a temporary license under the Occupational Therapy Practice Act on such date. The permitholder may continue to practice under such temporary permit as a temporary license until it would have expired under its terms.
