practitioners utilized in this State are registered or provisionally registered with

a registration system that complies with subsection 1. Confirmation is limited to obtaining identities of the practitioners from the system

and determining whether the system indicates that the practitioners are licensed and

system located in this State must notify the person or entity of the identities of

volunteer health practitioners and whether the practitioners are licensed and in good

standing. 4. A host entity is not required to use the services of a volunteer health practitioner

even if the practitioner is registered or provisionally registered with a registration

system which indicates that the practitioner is licensed and in good standing. 5. The Division shall adopt regulations which provide for the expedited granting of

provisional registration to volunteer health practitioners while an emergency declaration

is in effect.
