(a) All licenses issued by the Board shall expire on the 31st day of December of the second year next succeeding the issuance thereof. A license may be renewed on the payment to the Board of a fee of $200.00 for physical therapists, and $100 for physical therapists assistants on or before January 1st of each year and if said fee is not paid by that date, the license shall automatically expire. A license which has thus expired, may within five years of its expiration date, be renewed on the payment to the Board of a fee of $250.00, in addition to the annual license fee for each year or part thereof during which the license was ineffective and the payment of a restoration fee of $10. After said five-year period such license may be renewed only by complying with the provisions herein relating to the issuance of an original license.
(b) The Board may reinstate a lapsed license upon completion of a reinstatement application including payment of a fee set by the Board.
(c) If a physical therapist’s license or a physical therapist assistant’s license has lapsed for two or more renewal periods, that person shall demonstrate to the Board’s satisfaction competence to practice physical therapy by one or more of the following as determined by the Board:
(1) Practice for a specified time under a restricted license;
(2) Complete prescribed remedial courses;
(3) Pass all examinations approved by the Board; and
(4) Provide proof of licensed practice in another jurisdiction.
(d) The Board may reinstate a revoked license evidence of satisfactory completion of all requirements for reinstatement that were stipulated in a consent order at the time of revocation. The Board may further require evidence of a physical therapist’s competence to practice physical therapy through one or more of the activities specified in section 165h(c) of this subchapter.
