California CodesBusiness and Professions Code - BPCDivision 2 — Healing ArtsChapter 5.3 — Speech-Language Pathologists, Audiologists, and Hearing Aid DispensersArticle 8 — Hearing Aid DispensersSection 2538.29
A trainee licensed under Section 2538.28 shall take the licensure examination within the first 12 months after the trainee license is issued. Failure to take the licensure examination within that time shall result in expiration of the trainee license, and it shall not be renewed unless the trainee licensee has first taken the licensure examination. The board, however, may in its discretion renew the trainee license if the licensee failed to take the licensure examination due to illness or other hardship.
Notes
Requires a licensed trainee to take the licensure examination within 12 months after the trainee license is issued. Sets expiration for failure to test within that period and bars renewal until the examination is taken, but allows the board to renew despite failure caused by illness or other hardship.
