Latest version.
  • Permits limited as to eligibility,  practice,  and  duration,  shall be issued by the department to eligible applicants as follows:
        1.  Eligibility. The following persons shall be eligible for a limited
      permit:
        (1) A person  who  fulfills  all  requirements  for  a  license  as  a
      veterinarian except those relating to the examination and citizenship or
      permanent residence in the United States;
        (2) A foreign veterinarian who is in this country on a non-immigration
      visa  for  the  continuation of veterinary medical study in a college of
      veterinary medicine.
        2. Limit of practice. A permittee  shall  be  authorized  to  practice
      veterinary   medicine   only   under   the  supervision  of  a  licensed
      veterinarian in accordance  with  regulations  of  the  commissioner.  A
      licensed veterinarian shall supervise one permittee.
        3.  Duration.  A  limited  permit  issued pursuant to paragraph one of
      subdivision one of this section shall be valid for one year or until the
      individual has had  the  opportunity  to  take  the  state  veterinarian
      licensing  examination  and  receive  the  results  of this examination,
      whichever shall occur first. It may be renewed once at the discretion of
      the department if the permit holder has not had a reasonable opportunity
      to take the state veterinarian licensing examination during  the  period
      for  which  such  limited permit was originally issued. A limited permit
      may also be issued or extended for not more than one year to  afford  an
      applicant or permit holder a second opportunity to successfully complete
      such  examination  if  such  applicant or permit holder has successfully
      completed the written subjects and  all  except  one  of  the  practical
      subjects  of  such  examination.  A  limited  permit  issued pursuant to
      paragraph two of subdivision one of this section shall be valid for  one
      year,  and may be renewed at the discretion of the department so long as
      the permit holder is a bona fide student  at  a  college  of  veterinary
      medicine, in this state.
        4. Fees. The fee for each limited permit and for each renewal shall be
      one hundred five dollars.
