Chapter 0120-05 - Continuing Education
Section 0120-05-.08 - EXEMPTIONS
Universal Citation: TN Comp Rules and Regs 0120-05-.08
Current through April 3, 2024
(1) A registrant may be exempt from continuing professional development education requirements for any of the following reasons:
(a) A new registrant is not
required to satisfy the continuing education requirements prescribed in this
chapter as a prerequisite for initial registration. However, at the time of
first registration renewal, the registrant must demonstrate completion of the
required continuing education for professional development.
(b) A non-career military registrant serving
on active duty in the armed forces of the United States for a period of time
exceeding one hundred twenty (120) consecutive days in a calendar year shall be
exempt from obtaining the PDH required during that year.
(c) A registrant employed as an architect,
engineer, landscape architect or registered interior designer and assigned to
duty outside the United States for a period of time exceeding one hundred
twenty (120) consecutive days in a calendar year shall be exempt from obtaining
the PDH required during that year.
(d) A registrant who lists the registrant's
occupation as "retired" or "inactive" on the Board-approved renewal form and
who further certifies that they are no longer practicing shall be exempt from
the PDH required. In the event such a person elects to return to active
practice, PDH must be earned for each year exempt, not to exceed the annual
requirement for two (2) years before the person returns to active practice.
Inactive or retired registrants returning to active practice must report PDH
earned within no more than two (2) years of the request to
reactivate.
(e) A registrant
experiencing physical disability, a serious medical condition, or other
extenuating circumstances may apply for an exemption or an extension of time to
obtain the credits, subject to the review and approval of the Board. Supporting
documentation must be furnished to the Board, and the Board reserves the right
to deny requests lacking adequate documentation or justification. Registrants
granted an exemption or extension may still be subject to disciplinary action
for violations of this chapter that occurred outside the period of exemption or
extension.
Authority: T.C.A. § 62-2-203(d).
