Inactive status indicates the voluntary termination of the
right or privilege to practice physical therapy in Mississippi. The Board may
allow a licensee who is not actively engaged in the practice of physical
therapy in Mississippi to inactivate the license instead of renewing it at the
time of renewal. A licensee may remain on inactive status for no more than six
consecutive years. After the six-year period of inactive status the licensee
must comply with Part 3103 Rule
4.4 in order to reinstate his/her
license.
