Current through Register 2024 Notice Reg. No. 28, July 12, 2024
(a) Request for
				  Authorization to Participate. An out-of-state practitioner ("applicant") may
				  request authorization from the Board to participate in a sponsored event and
				  provide such health care services at the sponsored event as would be permitted
				  if the applicant were licensed by the Board to provide those services. An
				  applicant shall request authorization by submitting to the Board a completed
				  Request For Authorization To Practice Without A California License, Form 901-B
				  (3/23/12), which is hereby incorporated by reference, accompanied by a
				  non-refundable, and non-transferrable processing fee of fifty dollars ($50).
				  The applicant shall also furnish either a full set of fingerprints or submit to
				  a Live Scan process to establish the identity of the applicant and to permit
				  the Board to conduct a criminal history record check. The applicant shall pay
				  any costs for furnishing the fingerprints. The fingerprint requirement shall
				  apply only to the first application for authorization that is submitted by the
				  applicant if no more than four years have passed since the last Request for
				  Authorization, Form 901-B (3/23/12) was received by the Board.
(b) Response to Request for Authorization to
				  Participate. Within twenty (20) calendar days of receiving a completed request
				  for authorization, the Board shall notify the sponsoring entity or local
				  government entity administering the sponsored event, whether that request is
				  approved or denied.
(c) Denial of
				  Request for Authorization to Participate.
(1)
				  The Board shall deny a request for authorization to participate if:
(A) The submitted Form 901-B (3/23/12) is
				  incomplete and the applicant has not responded within seven (7) calendar days
				  to the Board's request for additional information.
(B) The applicant has not met all of the
				  following educational and experience requirements:
1. Completion of a course of instruction in
				  vocational or practical nursing in a school accredited by the Board or another
				  United States province, provided that the course completed is substantially
				  equivalent to that prescribed by Section
				  2533 of this chapter.
2. Taken the National League for Nursing
				  State Board Test Pool Examination for Practical Nurses or the National Council
				  Licensing Examination for Practical Nurses, and passed said examination with a
				  score equal to or above the minimum passing score required by the Board for
				  said examination.
(C) The
				  applicant has failed to comply with a requirement of this Article or has
				  committed any act that would constitute grounds for denial of an application
				  for licensure by the Board.
(D) The
				  applicant does not possess a current valid license in good standing. The term
				  "good standing" means the applicant:
1. Has
				  not been charged with an offense for any act substantially related to the
				  practice for which the applicant is licensed by any public agency.
2. Has not entered into any consent agreement
				  or been subject to an administrative decision that contains conditions placed
				  upon the applicant's professional conduct or practice, including any voluntary
				  surrender of license.
3. Has not
				  been the subject of an adverse judgment resulting from the practice for which
				  the applicant is licensed that the Board determines constitutes evidence of a
				  pattern of negligence or incompetence.
(E) The Board has not received a criminal
				  history report for the applicant from the California Department of
				  Justice.
