048-5 Wyo. Code R. § 5-15

Current through April 27, 2019
Section 5-15 - Conditional Licensing

(a) Definition. For the purposes of this Section, a "conditional license" is a license issued to an applicant for licensure as one of the levels defined under Section 1 of this chapter. A conditional license shall be issued only to applicants who have satisfied all other requirements for licensure under this chapter while the results of a criminal background check are pending.

(b) Scope of Practice under a Conditional License. Persons granted a conditional license under this Section may provide care consistent with the scope of practice established for the level of licensure for which they have applied. Entities employing or utilizing persons with conditional licenses shall retain the right to limit the practice of persons with conditional licenses as a condition of employment.

(c) Qualification for Conditional Licensure. Any applicant for licensure under this chapter may request that the Division issue a conditional license if he meets the following criteria:

  • (i) All other conditions for licensure prescribed under this chapter have been satisfactorily met with the exception of the criminal background check requirements under Section 3(b) of this chapter; and
  • (ii) No fact or circumstance is presented in the application that would otherwise prohibit the issue of a license; and
  • (iii) The applicant, by notarized signature, attests that he has not been convicted of nor has pending charges of a felony; or a crime against a person; or morals, decency and the family as defined by Wyoming law.

(d) Conditional License Time Limit. A conditional license shall expire ninety (90) days after the date of issuance. The Division, at its sole discretion, may grant a single extension of a conditional license of ninety (90) days after the date of expiration if the Division determines that circumstances beyond the control of the applicant prohibited the processing of the criminal background check.

(e) Revocation. A conditional license shall be immediately revoked if the Division gains knowledge of any fact that would disqualify the applicant from licensure. Revocation of a conditional license shall be grounds for permanent denial of licensure under this chapter.
