The board, at its discretion, may grant a waiver to the PDH requirement upon a showing of significant hardship that has interfered with the licensee's ability to practice their profession. A request for a waiver must be made in writing and clearly state the justification and include any necessary documentation required by the board. All waivers expire on the end date of license renewal cycle (renewal date) unless the board grants an extension.
The board may grant waivers for:
(1) Emergent illness or physical impairment or other extenuating circumstances that pose a personal hardship.
(2) Individuals who have been placed on active military duty for at least 120 days.
