Ohio Admin. Code 4753-3-11 - Inactive status of license; restoration
(A) A person licensed as a speech-language
pathologist or audiologist may, at the time of biennial renewal, apply for
inactive status of his/her license. The application for inactive status shall
be accompanied by the fee prescribed by rule
4753-5-01
of the Administrative Code and by a signed statement that the licensee will not
engage in the active practice of speech-language pathology or audiology, as
defined by divisions (C) and (G) of section
4753.01 of the Revised Code,
while the license is inactive.
(B)
A person whose license is inactive may request a return to active status at any
time by submitting a restoration application to the board. Applications shall
be:
(1) Typewritten or printed in ink or
submitted electronically via the Ohio e-license system;
(2) Signed by the applicant or electronically
signed if applying electronically via the Ohio e-license system;
(3) Accompanied by the fee prescribed by rule
4753-5-01
of the Administrative Code;
(4)
Accompanied by such evidence, statements, or documents as specified on the
form; and
(5) Contain proof that
the applicant completed at least twenty contact hours of continuing education
in accordance with rule
4753-4-01 of
the Administrative Code within the two year period immediately preceding the
application for restoration. Contact hours used to meet the requirements of
this paragraph shall not be used to renew the restored license.
(a) A license in inactive status for less
than twelve months shall be restored to active status when the licensee
demonstrates proof he or she completed an additional ten contact hours of
continuing education during the time the license was in inactive
status.
(b) A license in inactive
status for twelve months to twenty-four months shall be restored to active
status when the licensee demonstrates proof he or she completed an additional
twenty contact hours of continuing education during the time the license was in
inactive status.
(c) A license in
inactive status for twenty-five months to forty-eight months shall be restored
to active status when the licensee demonstrates proof he or she completed an
additional forty contact hours of continuing education during the time the
license was in inactive status.
(d)
A license in inactive status for forty-nine months to sixty months shall be
restored to active status when the licensee demonstrates proof he or she
completed an additional fifty contact hours of continuing education during the
time the license was in inactive status.
(e)
The additional
continuing education hours obtained during the time the license was in inactive
status to restore an inactive license under this section may count toward the
licensee's continuing education requirement for the first renewal of the
restored license if they were obtained during the two calendar years
immediately prior to the next renewal date following
restoration.
(C) In addition to the requirements contained
in paragraphs (B) and (C) of this rule, applicants for restoration of an
inactive license who have not engaged in the practice of speech-language
pathology or audiology for more than five years prior to the date the
individual applies to the board for restoration may be subject to additional
requirements outlined by the board. The board may consider, but is not limited
to, the following additional requirements:
(1)
Competency based performance appraisals;
(2) Mentorship;
(3) Additional continuing
education;
(4) Extended coursework;
and
(5) Professional development
plan.
(D) For the
purposes of filing an electronic application via the "StateplaceOhio" e-license
system, the board shall supply the applicant with a "UserID" and password. The
use of the "UserID" and password provided by the board is solely the
responsibility of the individual to whom it is issued and shall be limited to
filing an electronic application for license restoration. The "UserID" and
password shall constitute the legally recognized signature for the purposes of
this rule and may not be transferred, distributed, or shared with any other
person.
