32-1528. Retired licensee; waiver of fees;
reinstatement


A. The board may waive a physician's annual renewal fee if the physician has paid
all past fees and presents an affidavit to the board that the physician has permanently
retired from the practice of naturopathic medicine.


B. A physician whose annual renewal fee has been waived by the board and who is
permanently retired from the practice of naturopathic medicine is not required to comply
with any continuing medical education requirements of this chapter.


C. If a retired physician who has had the annual renewal fee waived by the board
engages in the practice of naturopathic medicine, the physician is subject to the same
penalties that are imposed under this chapter on a person who practices naturopathic
medicine without a license or without being exempt from licensure.


D. The board may reinstate a retired physician to active practice on payment of the
annual renewal fee and presentation of evidence satisfactory to the board that the
physician meets the qualifications prescribed under section 32-1522, subsection A,
paragraphs 4, 5 and 6.


E. If an applicant for reinstatement of a retired license has not been licensed and
actively practicing in a jurisdiction of the United States or Canada in the three years
immediately preceding the application, the board may issue a limited license that
requires a period of general or direct supervision by another licensed naturopathic
physician not to exceed one year.
