Section 120. Reinstatement of a lapsed license for audiologists or speech-language pathologists

A. When a license has not been renewed within one year of the expiration date, a person may apply to reinstate his license by submission of a reinstatement application, payment of the reinstatement fee, and submission of documentation of current ASHA certification or at least 10 continuing education hours for each year the license has been lapsed, not to exceed 30 contact hours, obtained during the time the license in Virginia was lapsed.

B. A licensee who does not reinstate within five years shall meet the requirements of subsection A of this section and shall either:

1. Reinstate by meeting the requirements for initial licensure as prescribed by 18VAC30-21-60; or

2. Provide documentation of a current license in another United States jurisdiction and evidence of active practice for at least one of the past three years or practice in accordance with 18VAC30-21-70 with a provisional license for six months and submit a recommendation for licensure from his supervisor.

C. If the licensee holds licensure in any other state or jurisdiction, he shall provide evidence that no disciplinary action is pending or unresolved. The board may deny a request for reinstatement to any licensee who has been determined to have committed an act in violation of 18VAC30-21-160.
