The Board may grant licenses without examination to practice in Puerto Rico as nutritionists or dieticians to those persons who have pursued studies comparable to those required in Puerto Rico in a recognized college or university, and who may hold licenses to work as such granted by authorized organizations of the states of the United States of America with which the Board may have established reciprocity relations, and provided in said states a similar concession is granted to the persons licensed in Puerto Rico. The applications for licenses without examination under this section should meet the requirements of § 2186(a) of this title.
The Board is hereby authorized to issue a provisional license to nutritionists or dietitians invited or contracted by the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, its agencies or departments, or to be used by federal agencies in Puerto Rico to practice as such in Puerto Rico. The Board shall establish in its regulations, the requirements and conditions for the application and issuance of said licenses, after a payment for such provisional licenses of fees amounting to twenty dollars ($20) payable to the Secretary of the Treasury through a postal or bank money order, or a certified check. These licenses shall be issued for a term not greater than one (1) year and may be extended for additional periods when it is so justified before the Board.
