[§436B-13.3]  Inactive license; reactivation
of inactive license.  (a)  Unless otherwise provided by law, each licensing
authority may allow a licensee to place its license on inactive status and
provide conditions for the reactivation of the license.



(b)  If a licensing authority desires to
authorize an inactive license status, the licensing authority may decide to
accept in total the provisions in subsection (c) to immediately effectuate an
inactive license status.  If a licensing authority desires to establish
provisions for an inactive license status that differ from the provisions in
subsection (c), the licensing authority may establish those alternative
provisions by rules adopted pursuant to chapter 91.



(c)  The following general provisions shall be
applied by the licensing authority:



(1)  Upon written request by a licensee during the
licensure period or at renewal, and upon payment of an inactive license fee,
the licensing authority shall place that licensee's active license on an
inactive status;



(2)  A licensee may continue on inactive status for
the biennial or triennial period, whichever is applicable;



(3)  A licensee on inactive status shall be considered
as unlicensed and shall not engage in the practice of the licensed profession
or vocation.  Any person who violates this prohibition shall be subject to
discipline under this chapter and the laws and rules of the licensing authority
for that license;



(4)  It shall be the responsibility of each licensee
on inactive status to maintain knowledge of current licensing and renewal
requirements; and



(5)  A licensee may request to reactivate the license
at any time during the licensure period or at renewal by completing an
application for reactivation and fulfilling all requirements in effect at the
time of application to return the license to active status, including the
payment of an activation fee and other fees that may be required.  The
licensing authority may require information from the applicant to ensure the
applicant is fit to engage in the profession, including but not limited to
reporting license sanctions, pending disciplinary actions, or conviction of a
crime in which the conviction has not been annulled or expunged.



(d)  The licensing authority may deny an
application for reactivation if the applicant does not fulfill all requirements
or for the bases set forth in section 436B-19 or in the laws and rules of the
licensing authority for that license.  If the licensing authority denies the
application, written notice of the denial shall state specifically the reason
for denying the reactivation and shall inform the applicant of the right to a
hearing under chapter 91.  The applicant shall be required to reapply for
licensure and comply with the licensing requirements in effect at the time of reapplication.
