(i) A pharmacy technician whose license was revoked by the Board may not file an application requesting a hearing until thirty-six (36) months have elapsed from the date the order revoking the pharmacy technician license became final;

(ii) A pharmacy technician whose license was suspended by the Board may not file an application requesting a hearing until one-half (1/2) of the suspension so ordered by the Board has elapsed;

(iii) A pharmacy technician shall submit an application fee of one hundred twenty five dollars ($125.00) and pay for the cost of the hearing, if the Board issues an order denying reinstatement. The application fee is nonrefundable;

(iv) The applicant must complete all questions and provide all information requested on the application;

(v) An incomplete application and the accompanying fee will be returned and a hearing date will not be set by the Board; and

(vi) In In the application, the pharmacy technician shall authorize any health professional who has examined or treated the applicant to disclose a diagnosis and the reasons for it to the Board and the Board staff.

(b) Applications received by the Board will be reviewed by the Executive Director. The Executive Director shall:

(i) Review the application for completeness. If information or attachments are missing, the application and fee will be returned to the applicant with a letter stating the reason(s) for the rejection; and

(ii) If the application is complete, the Executive Director, in consultation with a Compliance Officer, a member of the Board and the Board's Prosecuting Attorney shall make a decision if the evidence submitted supports reinstatement. The Executive Director will notify the applicant whether the Board staff will support or oppose the request for reinstatement. If not, a hearing for reinstatement shall be scheduled by the Executive Director, if requested by the applicant.

(c) The Executive Director may require the applicant to submit to an examination by a health professional chosen by Board staff. The health professional shall report on the examination to Board staff and may testify at a hearing on reinstatement. Cost for the examination shall be the responsibility of the applicant.

(d) To be reinstated, a pharmacy technician must prove that he or she has been rehabilitated so that further violation of Wyoming Statutes and Board rules is not likely to occur, and that he or she is competent to function as a pharmacy technician. The Board, as a condition to establish competency, may require successful completion of the PTCB Pharmacy Technician Certification Examination (PTCE) or ExCPT.
