The chiropractic examiners may, in their discretion, issue a temporary certificate authorizing the licensee to practice chiropractic if, in the opinion of the chiropractic examiners, a need exists and the person possesses the qualifications prescribed by the chiropractic examiners for the license, which shall be substantially equivalent to those required for licensure under this chapter. The chiropractic examiners shall determine in each instance those eligible for this license, whether or not examinations shall be given, and the type of examinations. No requirements of the law pertaining to regular permanent licensure are mandatory for this temporary license except as specifically designated by the chiropractic examiners. The granting of a temporary license does not in any way indicate that the person so licensed is eligible for regular licensure, nor are the chiropractic examiners in any way obligated to so license the person.
The temporary certificate shall be issued for one year and at the discretion of the chiropractic examiners may be renewed, but a person shall not practice chiropractic in excess of three years while holding a temporary certificate. The fee for this license shall be set by the chiropractic examiners and if extended beyond one year a renewal fee per year shall be set by the chiropractic examiners. The fees shall be based on the administrative costs of issuing and renewing the licenses. The chiropractic examiners may cancel a temporary certificate at any time, without a hearing, for reasons deemed sufficient to the chiropractic examiners.
When the chiropractic examiners cancel a temporary certificate they shall promptly notify the licensee by registered mail, at the licensee's last-named address, as reflected by the files of the chiropractic examiners, and the temporary certificate is terminated and of no further force and effect three days after the mailing of the notice to the licensee.
