SECTION 490:10-1-11. Requirements for restoration from suspended status


Latest version.
  • (a)   In addition to the general requirements found in this Chapter, each applicant for restoration of a suspended license shall meet the requirements in this Section.
    (b)   Individuals seeking restoration of a license that has been suspended must petition and appear, in person, before the Board and provide the Board with written documentation that hehas complied with all terms of the suspension.
    (c)   The Board, in its sole discretion, may restore a suspended license after the suspension time has elapsed, upon submission of evidence satisfactory to the Board that the conditions responsible for the suspension no longer exist and that no other reasons exist which warrant continued suspension.
    (d)   Evidence shall include complete documentation attested to under oath and by witnesses of facts that indicate that the conditions responsible for the suspension no longer exist. Letters of recommendations from employees, officers of courts, or respected members of the individual's community may also be submitted.
    (e)   Petitioners who have been suspended may be required to complete continuing education hours (in addition to those required for license renewal), and/or specific Administrator-In-Training (AIT) modules, and/or the portions of or the entire Administrator University curriculum at the discretion of the Board, at the expense of the applicant.
    (f)   Petitioners who were suspended but allowed their license to lapse while suspended or while pending adjudication of a case that resulted in suspension shall be required, at the time of their petition for reinstatement, to pay the renewal fees for every year they did not renew. If they are unable to show documented proof of completion of the continuing education requirements for the entire period of their suspension, they shall also be subject to the provisions of OAC 490:1-9-5(d) except that the penalty must be complied with (CE accomplished and fines paid) prior to the Board reviewing the petition for reinstatement. The license may however be removed from the former lapsed status and returned to suspended status (requiring annual renewal and annual completion of CE requirements) but meeting these requirements does not obligate the Board to reinstate the license.
