Section 818-021-0019 - [Repealed effective 1/1/2025] Temporary Dental Hygiene License for Spouses or Domestic Partners of Active Duty Armed Forces of the United States Stationed in Oregon

(1) A temporary license to practice dental hygiene 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 graduated from a dental hygiene program accredited by the Commission on Dental Accreditation of the American Dental Association; or

(c) Satisfactory evidence of having graduated from a dental hygiene program located outside the United States or Canada, completion of not less than one year in a program accredited by the Commission on Dental Accreditation of the American Dental Association, and proficiency in the English language; and

(d) Submission of a copy of the military orders assigning the active duty member to an assignment in Oregon; and

(e) The spouse holds a current license in another state to practice dentistry at the level of application; and

(f) The 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 license 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 license in the state used to obtain a temporary license expires; or

(c) Two years after the issuance of the temporary license.

(3) This temporary license is not renewable. If the dates in section two of this rule are exceeded and the spouse continues to practice in Oregon, the spouse must apply for an active Oregon license.

Continuing to work in Oregon when the temporary license has expired will be considered practicing without a valid license and is subject to Board action.
