Temporary permits require supervision by which of the following?

• A. An individual licensed in Louisiana in the discipline for which the temporary permit was issued
• B. Any licensed professional in any state
• C. A licensed professional in Louisiana but in any discipline
• D. No supervision required

Answer: (A)

Temporary permits are meant for supervised practice in a specific field, and the supervision must come from someone who is fully licensed in Louisiana in the same discipline. This ensures the supervisor has current, state-specific authority to oversee the work, enforce safety and sanitation standards, and guide the permit holder within the permitted scope. Supervisors from other states or in a different discipline don’t meet the Louisiana licensure requirement for that exact field, and there must be supervision for the permit to be valid. No supervision would defeat the purpose of the temporary permit, which is to allow supervised learning and practice.
