(a) Until the department is satisfied that the applicant has met the requirements under this chapter, it may issue a temporary permit to any person applying for a license issued pursuant to this chapter. The temporary permit authorizes the operation of a school or the giving of instruction for a period not to exceed 120 days while the department is completing its investigation and determination of all facts relative to the qualifications of the applicant for the license. (b) A temporary permit valid for 30 days may be issued to any applicant for an original instructor`s license pending satisfactory completion of the course required by subdivision (b) of Section 11104 or paragraph 2 of subdivision (a) of Section 11104.3, as applicable. This subdivision does not extend the period of validity of any temporary permit issued pursuant to subdivision (a). (c) The department may cancel a temporary permit when it has determined, or has reasonable cause to believe, that the application is incorrect or incomplete or the temporary permit was issued in error. A temporary permit is invalid when canceled or when the applicant`s license has been issued or refused. (d) This section shall become operative on July 1, 1988.
