SECTION 435:5-1-6. Reinstatement

(a)   In any action by the Board in which a person licensed or certified by the Board has been suspended or revoked by the Board, or surrendered in lieu of prosecution, the Board may at any time, upon motion of any member of the Board reconsider such suspension or revocation if given the right to reapply.

(b)   In addition, the person whose license or certificate has been suspended, revoked or surrendered with the right to reapply may petition the Board for reinstatement in accordance with applicable law.

(c)   In any case in which a person whose license or certificate has been suspended or revoked is considered by the Board for reinstatement, it shall be the burden of that person to show compliance with all terms and conditions imposed by the Board in the disciplinary action. The Board may deny reinstatement to any such person who does not satisfy the Board of compliance with any Board requirement or condition imposed by the Board in disciplinary action or may approve reinstatement without restriction or may approve reinstatement with terms of probation or restrictions as deemed necessary to protect the health, safety and well-being of the public.

(d)   Upon the completion of any term of suspension imposed by the Board, the person whose license or certificate was suspended shall bear the burden to show compliance with all requirements and conditions imposed by the Board prior to reinstatement by the Board.

(e)   An application for reinstatement shall be filed with the Board in writing and shall set forth action taken by the applicant to comply with conditions and requirements imposed by the Board, including all documents in support thereof. Such application or motion shall be reviewed by the Secretary prior to being scheduled for action by the Board at a meeting of the Board. If the Secretary determines the applicant has met the requirements and conditions imposed by the Board, the matter shall be scheduled for Board action. If the Secretary determines the applicant has not complied with requirements and conditions imposed by the Board, the Secretary shall advise the applicant of the noncompliance in writing and the matter shall not be scheduled for Board action. In the event an applicant disagrees with the determination of the Secretary, the applicant may move in writing for the original application to be reviewed by the Board, upon payment of the appropriate fee.
