1. 1. Upon the applicant paying a temporary license fee, the board shall issue without examination a temporary license to practice physical therapy for a period of time not to extend beyond the time when the results of the next examination are announced to any person who meets the qualifications of subsection 1 of section 334.530; provided that, the applicant has not previously been examined in one or more states or territories of the United States or the District of Columbia. The temporary license may be renewed at the discretion of the board and payment of the temporary license fee.
2. 2. The board may once renew a temporary license issued pursuant to this section if the licensee fails to sit for the next scheduled examination; provided that, the applicant shows good and exceptional cause for failing to sit for the examination. The applicant shall state the good and exceptional cause in writing and shall verify such statement by oath. The board shall define good and exceptional cause by rules and regulations.
3. 3. The board may issue a temporary license to any first-time applicant for licensure by examination if such person submits an agreement- to-supervise form which is signed by the applicant's supervising physical therapist. Such temporary licensee may only engage in the practice of physical therapy under the supervision of a licensed physical therapist. The board shall define the scope of such supervision by rules and regulations.
