Section LXXI-703 - Effective Period

A. Each temporary permit issued shall be valid for a period not to exceed one year for non-practicing sanitarians. For non-practicing sanitarians, a temporary permit may be renewed upon receipt of a written request and applicable fee payment.

B. For practicing sanitarians, a temporary permit may be renewed upon receipt of a written request and applicable fee; however, if the applicant was required to obtain a minimum of one year of field experience, including the successful completion of a CDC training course in sanitation, within the first year of the initial temporary permit issuance, issuance of any subsequent temporary permits shall be prohibited until these requirements have been met.

C. Practicing sanitarians shall be required to complete all requirements for the license (as per §1101. A of this Part) within 18 months from date of employment.

D. For practicing sanitarians who have obtained a minimum of one year of field experience, including the successful completion of a CDC training course in sanitation, yet fails to pass the written and/or oral examination administered by the board within 18 months from date of employment, his/her temporary permit to work as a sanitarian may be renewed for a total of only three times. Said applicant will be given the opportunity to pass the examination at the subsequent two examination periods as set by the board. The temporary permit shall automatically become null and void if the applicant fails the board administered examination three times. Since the applicant will no longer hold a temporary permit, he/she will not be allowed to continue to perform the duties of a sanitarian. The applicant will not be eligible to receive another temporary permit or take another board administered examination for a minimum of 12 consecutive months following the date of the last examination taken by the applicant.

E. Once an applicant has met all the requirements and is issued a license to practice as a registered sanitarian, any temporary permit previously held by him/her automatically becomes null and void.
