Section 8.06 - License Retirement

Universal Citation: 244 MA Code of Regs 244.8

Current through Register 1518, March 29, 2024

(1) A licensee who meets the eligibility requirements in 244 CMR 8.06(2) may submit a petition to the Board to request that his or her license be placed on retired status. A retired status is a non-disciplinary license status. The Board may decline to review any petition for reinstatement or return to current status from any licensee whose status has been changed to retired status.

(2) A licensee is eligible to submit a petition for retired status, if her or she:

(a) has a license that is not surrendered, suspended or revoked at the time of the petition; and

(b) demonstrates, to the board's satisfaction, that he or she intends to permanently retire from active practice in the Commonwealth and in all other jurisdictions.

(3) A licensee with a retired status may not practice.

(4) Nothing in 244 CMR 8.06 shall prevent the Board from initiating, pursuing or taking a disciplinary action against a licensee whose license is in retired status, including an action that imposes discipline or changes the license status from retired to revoked or suspended, if the Board determines that such action is in the best interests of public health, safety or welfare.
