church or religious denomination, recognized by the Internal Revenue
Service under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code, that
owns and operates a faith-based skilled nursing facility in
California, and whose teachings historically prohibit the acquisition
of the formal education that would otherwise be required to qualify
for the AIT Program and the licensing examination, that applicant may
seek an educational waiver. That applicant shall be required to
possess at least an accredited high school diploma or proof of
successfully passing a General Educational Development (GED) test of
the American Council on Education or the California High School

rehabilitation management or administration.

The applicant's church or religious denomination shall provide the foregoing information to the department for its review and processing of the educational waiver application. The department shall accept notarized copies of these documents.
(c) If the educational requirements are waived, the applicant successfully completes the program-approved 1,000 hour AIT Program, and is successful in passing the national and state licensing examinations, the applicant may only serve as a nursing home administrator in a facility that is owned and operated by the applicant's church or religious denomination.
