Section 25.808 - Inactive and expired status of perfusionist license; reactivation of inactive or expired license(a) A perfusionist license will become inactive if the licensee requests in writing that the Board place the license on inactive status. The Board will provide written confirmation of inactive status to the licensee at the licensee's last known address on file with the Board.(b) A perfusionist license will be classified as expired if the licensee fails to renew the certificate by the expiration of the renewal period on December 31 of each even-numbered year. The Board will provide written notice to a licensee who fails to renew by sending a notice to the licensee's last known address on file with the Board.(c) A perfusionist whose license has become inactive or expired may not practice as a perfusionist in this Commonwealth until the license has been reactivated.(d) To reactivate an inactive or expired license, the licensee shall apply on forms made available by the Board with the questions fully answered. The licensee shall: (1) Include the documentation required under § 25.810(b) (relating to continuing education for licensed perfusionist) for the immediately preceding biennium, which may be completed during the current biennium. Unless waived by the Board under section 13.3(n)(4) of the act (63 P. S. § 271.13c(n)(4)), the Board will not reactivate a license until the required continuing education for the preceding biennium has been successfully completed.(2) Pay the current renewal fee and the reactivation application fee in § 25.231 (relating to schedule of fees).(3) Verify that the licensee did not practice as a perfusionist in this Commonwealth while the license was inactive or expired except as provided in subsection (e).(e) A licensee who has practiced with an inactive or expired license and who cannot make the verification required under subsection (d)(3) shall also pay the fees required under this subsection. Payment of a late fee does not preclude the Board from taking disciplinary action for practicing as a perfusionist without a current license. (1) A licensee whose license was active at the end of the immediately preceding biennial renewal period and who practiced after the license became inactive or expired shall pay a late fee of $5 for each month or part of a month from the beginning of the current biennium until the date the reactivation application is filed.(2) A licensee whose license has been inactive or expired since before the beginning of the current biennium shall pay the renewal fee for each biennial renewal period during which the licensee practiced and pay a late fee of $5 for each month or part of a month from the first date the licensee practiced as a perfusionist in this Commonwealth after the license became inactive or expired until the date the reactivation application is filed.
