Section Hcp 206.06 - Effect of Voluntary License or Registration Surrender
Current through Register No. 40, October 3, 2024
(a) Neither non-renewal or surrender of an audiology license or hearing aid registration shall preclude the board from investigating or completing a disciplinary proceeding based upon the audiologist's or hearing aid dealer's professional conduct while the license or registration was still in effect.
(b) A licensed audiologist or registered hearing aid dealer who voluntarily surrenders a license or registration shall retain no right or privilege in a New Hampshire license or registration unless such a right or privilege is expressly preserved in the board order or in the settlement agreement that includes a voluntary surrender. Subject to the foregoing, a person who subsequently applies for audiology licensure or hearing aid dealer registration in New Hampshire after a voluntary surrender shall have the burden of proving compliance with all of the requirements then in effect for new applicants, including national examination and professional character requirements.
(c) Surrender of a license or registration pursuant to a voluntary surrender order or pursuant to a settlement agreement shall not preclude the board from investigating disciplinary proceedings not expressly referenced in such order or settlement agreement.
