Disciplinary actions shall comply with the provisions of the Administrative Procedure Act, Minnesota Statutes, chapter 14.

Subp. 4. Revocation or suspension.

Upon revocation or suspension, the registrant shall return to the commissioner his/her registration and current renewal certificates.

Subp. 5. Reregistration after revocation.

A registrant who has had his/her registration revoked shall not be entitled to apply for reregistration until at least one year following the effective date of the revocation or such longer period of time specified by the commissioner.

Subp. 6. Reinstatement.

A suspended registration may be reinstated upon fulfillment of the terms of suspension; provided, however, that all requirements of the rules for registration renewal, if applicable, shall be met prior to reinstatement.
