§34-24-176. Reinstatement of license.

In any event any licensee or permit holder allows his or her license or permit to lapse and desires to return to active practice, he or she must apply to the board for a reinstatement of the license or permit and must submit to the board a reinstatement fee together with all back fees. The reinstatement fee shall be one-half the amount of the annual license or permit fee. The applicant must satisfy the board that he or she is of good moral character and otherwise possesses all qualifications required by law of licensees or permit holders. Licensees who graduated from chiropractic college after January 1, 2010, shall possess a bachelor's degree from an accredited college or university; however, absent a bachelor's degree, the requirement may be met by an academic graduate degree from a regionally accredited college or university and proof that the applicant has taken a nationally recognized standardized test commensurate with that applicant's graduate degree. Those licensees who graduated prior to January 1, 2010, are specifically exempt from the requirements of the preceding sentence. Additionally, the board may require the licensee to enroll in and pass a refresher course approved by the board at an accredited chiropractic college. The board's decision as to whether a course of study will be required and whether a particular course of study will be approved shall be made on an individual case basis and shall be based on all relevant circumstances of that case.
