				documented by either the RPE supervisor or the RPE temporary license holder in
				the patient's record prior to the first use of tele-supervision with the

				license holder.

				in its discretion may reissue the license by extending its expiration date for
				a period to be determined by the Board but may not exceed one year. Under no

				immediate family member, where the RPE temporary license holder has primary
				responsibility for the care of that family member, was suffering from or
				suffered a disability (a disability is a physical or mental impairment that
				substantially limits one or more of the major life activities of an individual)

				with expertise in the area of the disability. Verification of the disability
				shall include;
