## Chapter 63-02-07 — Reinstatement of License

### § 63-02-07-01. Reinstatement of license.

1. Except as is otherwise provided for reinstatement of licenses for delinquency in renewals, any
podiatrist whose license or permit to practice podiatric medicine has been properly revoked,
suspended, or placed on probation by the board may apply for reinstatement after the time set
forth in the disciplinary ruling. The application must be in writing, must set forth why the
license should be reinstated, and must be accompanied by the appropriate relicensure fee
and license fee. At its first regular meeting after receiving the application for reinstatement, the
board shall make an inquiry, and shall render a decision with reference to any application for
reinstatement, in accordance with North Dakota Century Code chapter 43-05 and this title.
2. Except as is otherwise provided for reinstatement of licenses for delinquency in renewal, upon
a podiatrist's compliance with the requirements of this section, the podiatrist's license or permit
may be reinstated. The podiatrist requesting reinstatement of a license or permit shall submit
the following materials:
a. An application form and relicensure fee and license fee;
b. Verification of licensure status from each state in which the podiatrist has held an active
license during the five years preceding application;
c. If the license or permit has been inactive for five years or less, evidence of participation
in fifteen hours of acceptable continuing education for each year that the license was
expired or terminated up to seventy-five hours;
d. If the license or permit has been inactive for more than five years, evidence of continuing
competency as shown by submission of seventy-five hours of acceptable continuing
education obtained during the five years immediately before application; and
e. Other evidence as the board may reasonably require.
3. No license or permit that has been suspended or revoked by the board will be reinstated
unless the former licensee or permittee provides evidence of full rehabilitation from the cause
or causes for which the license was suspended or revoked and complies with the other
reasonable conditions imposed by the board for the purpose of establishing the extent of
rehabilitation. In addition, if the disciplinary action was based in part on failure to meet
continuing education requirements, the license or permit will not be reinstated until the former
licensee or permittee has successfully completed the requirements. The board may require
the licensee or permittee to pay the costs of the proceedings resulting in the suspension or
revocation of a license or permit under its disciplinary authority and the reinstatement or
issuance of a new license or permit. A licensee or permittee who has been disciplined by the
board in a manner other than by suspension or revocation may be required by the board to
pay the costs of the proceedings resulting in the disciplinary action.
