When can an interim permit be revoked?

An interim permit can be revoked anytime they believe the person to be incompetent because the purpose of the interim permit is to authorize an individual to practice while waiting for their full license approval, which includes a verification of their qualifications and competence. A governing body, such as a licensing board, has a responsibility to ensure that only those who are deemed competent can practice in their field, especially in professions that may impact public safety and welfare. Therefore, if the board has reasonable grounds to doubt a permit holder’s competency, they have the authority to revoke the interim permit promptly.

This standard protects the public by ensuring that there are checks in place to prevent individuals who may not meet the necessary qualifications from practicing. The other options describe scenarios that are too restrictive or do not align with the regulatory purpose of maintaining professional standards.
