(1) A temporary certification to perform the duties of a certified chiropractic assistant shall be issued to the spouse or domestic partner of active duty armed forces personnel when the following requirements are met: (a) A completed application and payment of fee is received by the Board; and (b) Satisfactory evidence of having successfully completed a chiropractic assistance training or program with requirements analogous to those of the OBCE and approved by a national or state chiropractic regulatory body; or (c) Satisfactory evidence of having successfully completed a chiropractic assistance training or program with requirements analogous to those of the OBCE and located outside the United States; and (d) Submission of a copy of the military orders assigning the active duty member to an assignment in Oregon; and (e) The spouse or domestic partner holds a current chiropractic assistant certificate or license in another state to perform the duties of a certified chiropractic assistant at the level of application; and (f) The certificate or license is unencumbered and verified as active and current through processes defined by the Board; and (g) Satisfactory evidence of successfully passing a clinical examination administered by any state, national testing agency or other Board-recognized testing agency. (2) The temporary certificate shall expire on the following date, whichever occurs first: (a) Oregon is no longer the duty station of the active armed forces member; or (b) The certificate in the state used to obtain a temporary certificate expires; or (c) Thirteen months after the issuance of the temporary certificate. (3) Temporary certificate holders are responsible to comply with ORS chapter 684, OAR chapter 811 and other laws and rules governing certified chiropractic assistants. (4) This temporary certificate is not renewable. If the dates in section two of this rule are exceeded and the spouse or domestic partner continues to perform duties in Oregon, the spouse or domestic partner must apply for an active Oregon certificate. This certificate must be obtained using the processes and fees established for permanent certification. Continuing to work in Oregon when the temporary certification has expired will be considered practicing without a valid certificate and is subject to Board action.
