	9.1(2) Temporary in-state practice. A temporary permit may be issued upon application to a qualified applicant who does not also seek a full Iowa license. For the purpose of this subrule, “qualified applicant” means a person who:
	a. 	Has graduated from an accredited or approved school of veterinary medicine or has received an ECFVG certificate.

The temporary permit shall be issued for a period of no more than 180 days, and no more than one permit shall be issued to a person during each calendar year.
811—9.2(169) Application.
	9.2(1) An application for a temporary permit shall be made on forms provided by the board. The applicant shall provide a statement indicating all jurisdictions in which the licensee is or has ever been licensed to practice veterinary medicine. The applicant shall consent to release to the board license information from jurisdictions in which the applicant is or has ever been licensed.
	9.2(2) The board may require from an applicant or obtain from other sources such other information pertinent to character and education of the applicant as it may deem necessary in order to pass upon the applicant’s qualifications.
	9.2(3) In the case of an applicant under subrule 9.1(2), the applicant shall provide evidence of approved continuing education totaling at least 60 hours obtained in the previous three years.
	9.2(4) The temporary permit fee and the application fee shall accompany the application.
811—9.3(169) Supervision. Permit holders under subrule 9.1(2) shall establish and maintain an association with a person currently holding an Iowa license in good standing. The association may be either as an employee, employer, or formal partnership. The licensed veterinarian shall be in a position to regularly observe the activities of the permit holder. The permit holder shall provide accurate and current information to the board as to this association in order to maintain the temporary permit.
811—9.4(169) Practice without benefit of temporary permit or full Iowa license. An applicant for a temporary permit or a full Iowa license shall not engage in the practice of veterinary medicine unless and until a temporary permit or full Iowa license is granted by the board. Prior to the issuance of the temporary permit or full Iowa license, an applicant who is otherwise qualified under rule 9.1(169) may perform within the same scope of authority as a registered veterinary technician, as provided in 811—Chapter 8. An applicant for a temporary permit or full Iowa license who engages in the practice of veterinary medicine prior to the issuance of the temporary permit or full Iowa license is subject to denial or revocation of the temporary permit, denial or revocation of the full Iowa license, and referral for civil or criminal prosecution, at the board’s discretion.
These rules are intended to implement Iowa Code section 169.11.
