(a) A person who is waiting to take the examination required by the board may apply to the board for a temporary license to practice as a licensed marriage and family therapist by:
(1) Paying an application fee as established by the board under K.S.A. 65-6411, and amendments thereto; and
(2) meeting the application requirements as stated in K.S.A. 65-6404(a)(1), (a)(2) and (a)(4), and amendments thereto.

(2) Absent extenuating circumstances approved by the board, a temporary license issued by the board shall expire upon the date the board issues or denies the person a license to practice marriage and family therapy or 12 months after the date of issuance of the temporary license.
