The examining board shall promulgate rules for its own guidance and for the guidance of the trade or profession to which it pertains, and define and enforce professional conduct and unethical practices not inconsistent with the law relating to the particular trade or profession.
Related statute or rule
Plain language analysis
The Social Worker Section issues a temporary certificate or license when all the licensure requirements are met with the exception of the examination. The statute states that a temporary certificate or license may be renewed once by that section of the examining board. This amendment will bring the rule into conformity with the statute.

None.

Minnesota: Minnesota may grant a temporary license to practice social work to applicants who have completed the education and examination to those unlicensed or to applicants in emergency situations if licensed in another jurisdiction.
