(d) Licensees desiring to be placed on inactive status must apply in writing to the Board and submit evidence of inability to practice.

2. Once placed in inactive status, the license holder thereafter shall not engage in the practice of podiatry in any manner in the State of Georgia.

3. The only avenue of reactivation shall be at the discretion of the Board under conditions acceptable to the Board. Licensees seeking reactivation shall be required to pay past license renewal fees based on the current renewal rate for each inactive renewal cycle and submit proof of continuing education for each biennium the license is in inactive status.
