A temporary permit may also be granted by the board to a qualified applicant eligible for licensure by national boards or reciprocity for a period of thirty days, in which time applicant must appear before one of the board members for an interview for permanent licensure.

Such permit shall be subject to revocation when, in the opinion of the board, the terms and conditions prescribed in the permit have been violated.
