Section XLVII-3415 - Reinstatement of License

A. An application for reinstatement of a suspended, revoked, or surrendered license shall be in writing in the form prescribed by the board. Applications and supporting documentation shall be submitted to the board at least 21 days prior to the scheduled hearing or conference.

B. The application for reinstatement of a suspended or a revoked license does not require satisfaction of the requirements for initial licensure. However, the requirements of LAC 46: XLVII.3333 and 3335 shall be met.

C. Prior to reinstatement of a license previously suspended (except for nonpayment of fees) or revoked, a hearing or conference is held before the board or staff to afford the applicant with the opportunity to present evidence that the cause for the revocation or suspension no longer exists and to provide an opportunity for the board or staff to evaluate changes in the person or conditions. In certain situations, the license may be reinstated by consent order or settlement order. The burden of proof is on the applicant to prove the conditions that led to the suspension or revocation no longer exist and/or no longer affect applicants ability to practice safely. If reinstatement is granted, a period of probation with stipulations may be imposed.

D. In addition to the requirements of Subsections A, B, and C of this Section, an application for reinstatement of a revoked license shall not be submitted and shall not be considered by the board or by board staff until after five years pass from the date the boards revocation order became a final judgement.

E. The board and board staff shall not accept and shall not consider an application for reinstatement from a person whose license or licenses were revoked permanently or were declared revoked permanently.
