(1) Whenever, in the opinion of the executive director, based upon verified information contained in the application, an applicant for a license to practice medicine or osteopathy is eligible therefor under subsections (1) and (2) of KRS § 311.571, the executive director may issue to such applicant, on behalf of the board, a temporary permit which shall entitle the holder to practice medicine or osteopathy in this state for a maximum of six (6) months from date of issuance thereof unless the temporary permit is sooner canceled by the executive director, who may cancel it at any time, without a hearing, for reasons deemed sufficient to him with appropriate consultation with the president, and who shall cancel it immediately upon direction by the board or upon the board’s denial of the holder’s application for a regular license. The permit shall not be renewable.
(2) The executive director shall present to the board the application for a license made by the holder of the temporary permit. In the event the board issues a regular license to the holder of a temporary permit, the fee paid in connection with any temporary permit then in effect shall be applied upon the prescribed license fee.
(3) When the executive director cancels a temporary permit, he shall promptly notify, by certified United States mail, the holder of the temporary permit, at his last known address as reflected by the files of the board, and the temporary permit shall become terminated and of no further force and effect three (3) days after the giving of said notice to the holder.
