B. The board shall issue a provisional license to practice podiatry to every person who receives a passing grade on the examination and pays the required fee but who has not completed the one-year internship program required by subsection A. Such provisional license shall be valid for a term of not more than one year and shall be non-renewable.

The board shall adopt rules which provide for supervision by the board of each provisional licensee who practices in this state.

D. The board shall deny a license to an applicant who satisfies all of the licensing requirements of this article if that applicant does not submit the license issuance fee within twelve months after taking the examinations. An applicant who fails to submit the fee within this time is required to reapply for licensure pursuant to this article.
