Current through Register Vol. 13, July 5, 2024
(1) Pursuant to
				17-2-302,
				MCA, state programs that charge a fee for services are generally not permitted
				to let their cash balance exceed twice the program's annual appropriation.
				However, despite the best projections of the board, there may be times when
				cash balances exceed the amount authorized by statute. This rule is intended to
				provide a process for when the board needs to reduce its cash balance with a
				standard methodology to do so, in fair and equitable manner. This rule provides
				for an abatement of certain fees when the board's cash balance is
				excessive.
(2) Except as provided
				by (3), when the board has an excessive cash balance, the department may abate
				the renewal fees for the board's licensees or registrants for one or more
				renewal cycles until the board's cash balance does not exceed the allowable
				maximum.
(a) The abatement of renewal fees
				may be the total amount of the renewal fee, or only a specified portion of the
				renewal fee.
(b) If the board has
				more than one category of renewals, the abatement must be made on a roughly
				proportional basis to fairly, equitably, reasonably and economically distribute
				the abatement among the program's licensees or registrants. The department may,
				for good cause, completely abate the renewal fee for certain classes of
				licensees or registrants and not for other classes, if the administrative cost
				of processing a reduced renewal fee for all classes is disproportionately high.
				In such a case, the department must attempt in any future abatements to
				equitably treat those classes of renewals which have borne a relatively higher
				proportion of renewal fees.
(c) The
				fact that the renewal fee is abated for any given renewal cycle does not excuse
				the licensee or registrant from otherwise fulfilling the renewal requirements,
				including submission of a renewal application and/or continuing education
				documentation. The board, to the extent it so provides by rule, may impose a
				late fee on untimely submissions of renewal applications or other required
				documentation.

Current through Register Vol. 13, July 5, 2024
(1) Applications shall be made on forms
				provided by the department.
(2) The
				application must be complete, accompanied by the appropriate fee(s), and
				contain sufficient evidence that the applicant possesses the qualifications set
				forth in Title 37, chapter 14, MCA, and rules promulgated thereunder.
(3) The board shall review fully completed

				request additional information or clarification of information provided in the
				application as it deems reasonably necessary. Applicants shall be informed of
				incomplete applications with a statement regarding incomplete
				portions.
(4) The applicant shall
				correct any deficiencies and provide the missing information as requested.
				Failure to provide the missing information within 60 days shall be treated as a
				voluntary withdrawal of the application. In order to consider an applicant
				after voluntary withdrawal, a new application and fee(s) is required.
(5) An application for licensure shall be
				submitted to the board office with copies of the following documents:
(a) three statements from persons attesting
				to the applicant's good moral character;
(b) application fee;
(c) original license fee; and
(d) evidence of certification by the American
				Registry of Radiologic Technologists (ARRT) in x-ray technology. This evidence

				the applicant is not listed in the current ARRT directory, the applicant shall
				submit to the board a certified copy issued by the ARRT of the original
				registration certificate.

				Qualification Criteria effective January 1, 2022, in its entirety, inclusive of
				the criteria, interpretations, guide notes, and Q&A, and Policy Statements,
				published by the Appraiser Qualifications Board of the Appraisal Foundation.

				appraiser; and the standards, scopes of practice, and continuing education
				requirements for each category of licensure.

				deficient in continuing education, the state will offer a 60-day opportunity to
				cure and complete all required education hours for that continuing education
				cycle. If the credential holder fails to cure the continuing education
				deficiency, the state will place the credential holder in an "administrative
				suspension" status and report the credential holder to the national registry as
				AQB-noncompliant until the audited deficiency and any accrued deficiency is
				cured. A demonstrated pattern of deficiencies may result in referral to the
				board for traditional disciplinary action."
(c) "Background Checks," Part VII, paragraph
				C, is amended with the addition of the following: "As provided by Title 37,
				chapter 1, part 2, MCA, the board may not base a denial of a license solely on

				trust.".
