(a) On retiring from practice and payment of an appropriate one-time fee, an individual who is a registrant in good standing with the board may apply for the conversion of a certificate of registration to a retired status registration. An individual holding a retired status registration may not practice architecture, engineering, land surveying, or landscape architecture in the state. A retired status registration is valid for the life of the registration holder and does not require renewal.
(b) An individual with a retired status registration may apply for a certificate of registration. Before issuing a certificate of registration under this subsection, the board may require the applicant to meet reasonable criteria as determined under regulations of the board. The criteria may include submission of continuing education credits and reexamination requirements.
