West Virginia Code Chapter 30. Professions and Occupations § 30-1B-4. Temporary licensure

All boards referred to in this chapter shall issue a temporary practice permit to a military-trained applicant or military spouse licensed, certified, or registered in another jurisdiction while the military-trained applicant or military spouse is satisfying the requirements for licensure under sections two and three of this section no later than 15 days following receipt of an application; if that jurisdiction has licensure, certification, or registration standards substantially equivalent to the standards for licensure, certification, or registration of a board in this state. The temporary practice permit shall be issued using the same information as provided by the applicant in the licensure application and remain valid for the later of one year or the required renewal date for the occupation the temporary practice permit was issued for or until a license, certification, or registration is granted by the board. A temporary practice permit may be denied or revoked for a pending complaint after notice is provided to the military-trained applicant or military spouse as set forth under § 30-1B-2(a)(3), § 30-1B-3(a)(3), or § 30-1B-3(a)(4) of this article.
