What it would have done

Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.

This bill requires the Department of Safety and Professional Services to promulgate rules that allow an initial credential or a reciprocal credential to be granted with provisional status to an applicant who has applied for the credential.

These rules apply to credentials granted by DSPS and also apply to initial credentials granted by credentialing boards, unless a credentialing board promulgates its own provisional status credential rules.

Read the full summary

The holder of a credential granted with provisional status is subject to the same laws and procedures, including professional discipline, that otherwise apply to the credential, except that the credential is not subject to renewal unless and until the credential is ultimately approved. A credential with provisional status is granted subject to the ultimate determination on the application for the credential, and the provisional status is removed if the application is approved. A credential with provisional status immediately expires upon the issuance of a notice to deny the application. A decision on whether to grant a credential with provisional status is not subject to administrative or judicial review.
