(b)In cases of unusual hardship, as determined by the Board, the Board may grant a temporary license to an applicant who has completed all requirements established by this Article for licensure except for examination or other required evaluation procedure. A temporary license issued pursuant to this Section may be granted for not to exceed one

(1)year. The Board may place restrictions on practitioners so licensed including, but not limited to practice locations, authorized procedures and supervisory arrangements.

(c)Each holder of a dental auxiliary license may apply for renewal of their license upon payment of periodic fees, as determined by the Board. Each license shall expire on September 30 of each year. Failure to renew within sixty

(60)days of the due date shall void the license. A valid license may not be reinstated until a written application is filed and payment is received for the renewal fee and a delinquency fee.

(d)The Board shall establish fees to be paid in connection with the licensure and testing process, licensure renewal and delinquency. The Board shall establish procedures or functions which dentists may lawfully delegate to dental auxiliaries. The Board may authorize delegation of any function except those responsibilities reserved to dentists. Each order of the Board promulgated by this Section shall describe the function, the level of education or training which an auxiliary must have in order to permit delegation and the degree of supervision which the functions require.
