Title 850 - ALABAMA STATE BOARD OF SOCIAL WORK EXAMINERS
Chapter 850-X-10 - CONTINUING EDUCATION
Section 850-X-10-.17 - Reinstatement Of License Or Certification After Revocation

(1) Application for Reinstatement. Reinstatement is a matter of discretion, and not of right. Any person whose license or certification has been revoked may not apply to the Board for reinstatement of the license or certification until two years have elapsed since the revocation, except in the case of a person convicted of a crime of moral turpitude in which case five years shall have elapsed since said conviction and the person's civil rights shall have been restored. In the application for reinstatement, the applicant should state why the license or certification should be reinstated and should specifically set forth any changed circumstances which would justify reinstatement. An applicant must include in the application evidence that the current requirements for licensure and certification have been met.

(2) Board Action. Upon receipt of an application for reinstatement the Board may in its discretion grant an applicant a hearing on reinstatement, at which time the applicant may appeal to the Board to reinstate his/her license or certification.

(3) Burden of Proof. In any application for reinstatement, the applicant shall have the burden of establishing to the reasonable satisfaction of the Board that the applicant is entitled to the specific relief requested.

(4) Terms and Conditions. In the event an application for reinstatement is granted, the Board may impose such probationary terms and conditions as are necessary in its judgment to protect the public.
