Current through Register 2024 Notice Reg. No. 28, July 12, 2024
(a)
				An application for a license as a speech-language pathologist or audiologist
				shall be filed with the Board at its principal office.
(b) Every application shall be typed or
				written in ink, signed under the penalty of perjury and accompanied by the
				appropriate application fee and by such evidence, statements, or documents as
				therein required.
(c) The applicant
				shall be notified, in writing, of the results of the evaluation of the
				application for license if the application is rejected.
(d) An applicant shall be deemed to have
				abandoned his or her licensure application if the requirements for licensure
				are not completed within two years from the date on which application was filed
				unless the applicant has requested extension by the Board. An application
				submitted subsequent to an abandoned application shall be treated as a new
				application.
(e) In addition to any
				other requirements for licensure, whenever it appears that an applicant for a
				license may be unable to practice speech-language pathology or audiology safely
				because the applicant's ability to practice may be impaired due to mental or
				physical illness affecting competency, the Board may require the applicant to
				be examined by one or more physicians and surgeons or psychologists designated
				by the Board. The Board shall pay the full cost of such examination. An
				applicant's failure to comply with the requirement shall render his or her
				application incomplete. The report of the evaluation shall be made available to
				the applicant. If after receiving the evaluation report the Board determines
				that the applicant is unable to safely practice, the Board may deny the
				application.
