At any time while a license is valid, or expired but not lapsed, the licensee may request that his or her license be placed on inactive status. While on inactive status, the licensee is not subject to fees or continuing education requirements. As a condition of reinstatement, the licensee must satisfy the following requirements:
Demonstrate that he or she has not committed any acts or crimes constituting grounds for denial of licensure under any provisions of this chapter;
Pay fees to reactivate status as designated by the board;
Meet continuing education requirements equivalent to those that would have been met in the preceding two (2) years; and
Establish to the satisfaction of the board that, with due regard for the public interest, he or she is qualified to practice as an acupuncture practitioner.
