Current through Register Vol. 43, No. 1, October 31, 2024

Section 750-X-4-.02 - Inactive Status

(1) A licensee may request that the Board designate his or her license status as inactive at any time before the annual date of renewal (October 15) by submitting the Inactive Status Application Form and payment of an annual inactive status fee (See Appendix I, Fee Schedule). Granting inactive status to a licensee revokes all privileges associated with licensure under the law until reactivation is requested by the licensee. Any individual whose license is on inactive status shall not practice psychology or use the title "Licensed Psychologist" or "Licensed Psychological Technician in the State of Alabama. Any person violating this rule shall be considered practicing without a license and shall be subject to disciplinary action by the Board. Inactive status does not negate the jurisdiction of the Board over the actions of a licensee during any period of active licensure.

(2) A licensee who has been granted inactive status must submit a Continuation of Inactive Status Form by the date of renewal (October 15) each year, or the license shall lapse. Annual notices will be mailed to the licensee's address of record on August 15 of each year with responses due by October 15.

(3) A licensee may have his or her Inactive license reinstated to Active status by satisfying the following criteria:

(a) Submission of the Reinstatement of Active Status Form.

(b) Payment of the current annual renewal and continuing education fees. (See Appendix I, Fee Schedule)

(c) Submission of proof of compliance with continuing education requirements for the previous year.

(4) If a licensee is alleged to have violated any prohibition on professional conduct as referenced in the law, the Board, upon a hearing and proof of the violation, may deny reinstatement of the license or prohibit the psychologist or psychological technician from applying for reinstatement of licensure.
