Whenever sufficient proof has been provided to the state elevator inspector, by a licensed elevator contractor, employer or other person, of a short-term immediate need for additional elevator mechanics, the state elevator inspector may issue a temporary elevator mechanic thirty-day license to an individual, not currently licensed as an elevator mechanic, who meets the qualifications set forth in subsection C of this section. B. Whenever sufficient proof has been provided to the state elevator inspector, by a licensed elevator contractor, employer or other person, that an emergency exists in the State due to natural disaster, work stoppage, or similar significant event, and that the number of persons in the State holding elevator mechanic licenses is insufficient to cope with the emergency, the state elevator inspector may issue an emergency elevator mechanic thirty-day license to an individual, not currently licensed as an elevator mechanic, who meets the qualifications set forth in subsection C of this section. C. The state elevator inspector may issue a temporary or emergency elevator mechanic thirty-day license to an individual upon completion of the following: 1. The individual shall file an application for a temporary or emergency elevator mechanic license with the Commissioner of Labor within five (5) business days after commencing elevator mechanic work, using the form attached to these regulations as Addendum "E" - "Application for License / Extension of License / Temporary or Emergency Elevator Mechanic / Conveyance Safety Act." 2. The individual shall furnish proof of competency by submitting documentation of at least three (3) years of work experience in the conveyance industry as an elevator mechanic, working without direct supervision, in this State or in any other state having standards substantially the same as those of this State. 3. A licensed elevator contractor must certify that the person has an acceptable combination of documented experience and education to enable him or her to perform work as an elevator mechanic, without direct and immediate supervision. D. No application fee shall be required of an individual that is applying for a temporary or emergency elevator mechanic thirty-day license, or for the renewal of that license. E.
