4758.04 Delaying expiration date of certificate or credentials.

After the date the department of alcohol and drug addiction services ceases to administer its certification and credentialing process under section 3793.07 of the Revised Code as specified in division (B) of that section, an individual who holds, on the effective date of this section, a valid certificate or credentials that are accepted under section 3793.07 of the Revised Code as authority to practice as a chemical dependency counselor or alcohol and other drug prevention specialist may apply to the chemical dependency professionals board for the board to delay the expiration date of the individual’s certificate or credentials. If the board determines that there is good cause for delaying the expiration date, the board may delay the expiration date until a date the board specifies. The date the board specifies shall not be later than the date that is three years after the effective date of the board’s initial rules adopted under section 4758.20 of the Revised Code. An individual who has the expiration date of the individual’s certificate or credentials delayed under this section may perform services within the scope, standards, and ethics of the certificate or credentials until the date of the delayed expiration date.
