Section 10. Applicants for Temporary Permits; Condition; Fee.--The board may issue, without examination, a temporary permit to practice veterinary medicine to an applicant for admission to the examination provided such applicant meets all conditions and requirements relating to the qualification of applicants for a license to practice veterinary medicine and provided further any person applying for a temporary permit shall associate himself or herself with a licensed doctor of veterinary medicine and his or her work shall be limited to the practice of the licensed doctor of veterinary medicine and he or she shall not participate in any practice or operation of a branch office, clinic, or allied establishment. The permit, when granted, shall bear the name and address of a licensed doctor of veterinary medicine. The applicant must present himself or herself for examination at the next scheduled examination of the board. There shall be a fee as established by regulation of the board. A portion of the fee shall be applied towards the examination fee, but shall be forfeited if the applicant fails to present himself or herself at the next scheduled examination, and the permit shall terminate and the applicant is disqualified to practice veterinary medicine. No more than one temporary permit may be issued to any one applicant. Such temporary permit shall expire on the day following the announcement of the grades of the first examination given after such temporary permit is issued. No temporary permit shall be issued to any applicant if he or she has previously failed the examination.
