§34-11-12. Reissuance of revoked certificates; duplicate certificates.

The board, for reasons it may deem sufficient, may reissue a certificate of licensure to any person or certificate of authorization to any corporation, partnership, or firm whose certificate has been revoked, provided three or more members of the board vote in favor of reissuance. The board shall not consider reissuance of a certificate to any person whose certificate has been revoked because of non compos mentis until after the person has been declared to have fully regained his or her competency by a court of competent jurisdiction. The board shall not consider the reissuance of a certificate to a person who was convicted of a felony or entered a plea of guilty or nolo contendere to a felony until the civil rights of the person have been restored, and then a unanimous approval vote of the board concerning reissuance shall be required. A new certificate to replace any certificate revoked, lost, destroyed, or mutilated or for any other reason may be issued, subject to the rules of the board, and a charge of twenty-five dollars ($25) shall be made for such issuance.
