32-1458. Reinstatement of revoked or
surrendered license
A. On written application the board may issue a new license to a physician whose
license was previously revoked by the board or surrendered by the applicant if the
applicant demonstrates to the board's satisfaction that the applicant is completely
rehabilitated with respect to the conduct that was the basis for the revocation or the
surrender. In making its decision the board shall determine:
1. That the applicant has not engaged in any conduct during the revocation or
surrender period that would have constituted a basis for revocation pursuant to section
32-1451.
2. If a criminal conviction was a basis of the revocation or surrender, that the
applicant's civil rights have been fully restored pursuant to statute or any other
applicable recognized judicial or gubernatorial order.
3. That the applicant has made restitution to any aggrieved person as ordered by a
court of competent jurisdiction.
4. That the applicant demonstrates any other standard of rehabilitation the board
determines is appropriate.
B. Except as provided in subsection C of this section, a person shall not submit an
application for reinstatement less than five years after the date of revocation or
surrender.
C. The board shall vacate its previous order to revoke a license if that revocation
was based on a conviction of a felony or an offense involving moral turpitude and that
conviction has been reversed on appeal. The physician may submit an application for
reinstatement as soon as the court enters the reversal.
D. An applicant for reinstatement shall comply with all initial licensing
requirements prescribed by this chapter.
