  shall be issued by the department to eligible applicants as follows:
    1.  Eligibility. The following persons shall be eligible for a limited
  permit:
    (1) A person  who  fulfills  all  requirements  for  a  license  as  a
  veterinarian except those relating to the examination and citizenship or
  permanent residence in the United States;
    (2) A foreign veterinarian who is in this country on a non-immigration
  visa  for  the  continuation of veterinary medical study in a college of
  veterinary medicine.
    2. Limit of practice. A permittee  shall  be  authorized  to  practice
  veterinary   medicine   only   under   the  supervision  of  a  licensed
  veterinarian in accordance  with  regulations  of  the  commissioner.  A
  licensed veterinarian shall supervise one permittee.
    3.  Duration.  A  limited  permit  issued pursuant to paragraph one of
  subdivision one of this section shall be valid for one year or until the
  individual has had  the  opportunity  to  take  the  state  veterinarian
  licensing  examination  and  receive  the  results  of this examination,
  whichever shall occur first. It may be renewed once at the discretion of
  the department if the permit holder has not had a reasonable opportunity
  to take the state veterinarian licensing examination during  the  period
  for  which  such  limited permit was originally issued. A limited permit
  may also be issued or extended for not more than one year to  afford  an
  applicant or permit holder a second opportunity to successfully complete
  such  examination  if  such  applicant or permit holder has successfully
  completed the written subjects and  all  except  one  of  the  practical
  subjects  of  such  examination.  A  limited  permit  issued pursuant to
  paragraph two of subdivision one of this section shall be valid for  one
  year,  and may be renewed at the discretion of the department so long as
  the permit holder is a bona fide student  at  a  college  of  veterinary
  medicine, in this state.
    4. Fees. The fee for each limited permit and for each renewal shall be
  one hundred five dollars.
