(1) When an emergency has been declared, a
person who does not hold a license issued by the Board but does hold a Board

established initial licensing processes to assist with the healthcare response
to the emergency circumstances.

licensure process established pursuant to subsection (1) of this rule, this
license is subject to all other statutes and rules regarding applications and
licensure, including fees.
(4)
Regarding any modification of the initial licensing processes related to
fingerprint background checks, an initial license may be issued prior to review
of the fingerprint background check results only if:
(a) The applicant has submitted fingerprints
as part of the initial application process for a full background
check;
(b) The applicant has never
been convicted of any crime; and
(c) Board staff runs a LEDS check before
issuing the license.
(5)
If an initial license is issued pursuant to subsection (4) of this rule and
after review of the fingerprint background check results it is determined that
the applicant has been convicted of any crime or provided inaccurate
attestations or declarations to questions on the initial licensure application,
licensee may be disciplined, up to revocation of licensure and including
issuance of civil penalties.
(6)
Failure to comply with any modified licensure procedure established pursuant to
subsection (1) of this rule will result in an application being processed based
on established licensure processes.
