247 CMR, § 3.04 - Licensure Retirement
(1) A licensee who
meets the eligibility requirements in
247
CMR 3.04(2) may submit a
petition to the Board to request that his or her license be placed on retired
status. A retired status is a nondisciplinary status. The Board may decline to
review any petition for reinstatement or return to current status from any
licensee whose status has been changed to retired status.
(2) A licensee will be eligible to submit a
petition for retired status, if he or she:
(a)
has a license that is not surrendered, suspended or revoked at the time of the
petition;
(b) demonstrates, to the
board's satisfaction, that he or she intends to permanently retire from active
practice in the Commonwealth and in all other jurisdictions.
(3) A licensee with a retired
status may not practice.
(4)
Nothing in
247
CMR 3.04 shall prevent the Board from
initiating, pursuing or taking a disciplinary action against a licensee whose
license is in retired status, including an action that imposes discipline or
changes the status from retired to revoked or suspended, if the Board
determines that such action is in the best interests of public health, safety
or welfare.
