reactivation to the Board Administrative Office;
(b) Pay the Licensure Renewal Fee and State
Regulatory Fee as provided in rule 1020-01-.02(1)(b) and (c). lf retirement was

payment of the Late Renewal Fee and past due Renewal Fees and State Regulatory
Fees as provided in rule 1020-01-.02(1)(b), (c) and (d);
(c) Submit, along with the reactivation
request, proof of certification of attendance and completion of the following:
1. At least twenty-seven (27) clock hours of
Board approved continuing education as a prerequisite to licensure
reactivation, if the licensee applies for reactivation of a retired license
before the expiration of five (5) years from the date of retirement;
or
2. At least fifty (50) clock
hours of Board approved continuing education as a prerequisite to licensure
reactivation, if the licensee applies for reactivation of a retired license
after the expiration of five (5) years from the date of retirement;
or
3. The continuing education
required by parts 1. or 2. if the licensee is licensed in good standing and
actively practicing in another state whose continuing education requirements do
not meet or exceed the Board's continuing education requirements. lf licensed
in good standing and actively practicing in another state whose continuing
education requirements meet or exceed the Board's requirements, a licensee may
apply for reactivation without submitting proof of completing the continuing
education required by parts 1. or 2.
(d) The continuing education hours completed
as a prerequisite to licensure reactivation shall not be credited toward the
continuing education hours required to be completed by the end of the calendar
year of reactivation.
1. Submitting proof of
successful completion of the requirements in subparagraph (2) (c) of this rule
shall be considered proof of sufficient continuing education to constitute
continuing education clock hour credit for the length of time already
transpired in the calendar year in which the license is reactivated.
2. Such credit shall be calculated at the
rate of four and a half (4%) clock hours per quarter-calendar year.
(3) Anyone retiring and then reactivating a license must remain in "active status" and may not retire again until the expiration of one (1) renewal cycle.
