What is the status of a provisional license while the board reviews the applicant's full license application?

A provisional license serves as a temporary measure granted to applicants while their full license application is under review by the board. This status allows the applicant to operate legally as they await the board's decision. The provisional license remains valid until the board completes its review and makes a final determination regarding the applicant’s full license.

This approach ensures that applicants can continue their operations without interruption during the review period, promoting a smoother transition into full licensure provided they meet the requirements set forth by the board. It's essential for individuals applying for a provisional license to recognize that they must operate in compliance with all relevant laws and regulations during this interim phase.
