Section 690:10-9-7 - Inactive status fee

(a) A one-time fee of twenty five dollars ($25.00) shall be charged a licensed speech-language pathologist, audiologist or speech-language pathology assistant to place the license on inactive status, provided that, prior to expiration of the license, the licensee makes written application to the Board for such status. Thereafter, the licensee may reactivate the license upon payment of a reactivation fee equal to one and one-half (1 1/2) times the current license renewal fee. A licensee must be in compliance with continuing education requirements to be placed on inactive status, and must maintain compliance while inactive. During the period of time the license is on inactive status, the licensee shall not engage in the practice of speech-language pathology or audiology in the State of Oklahoma, unless the licensee is exempt from licensure pursuant to 59 O.S. § 1604. A license may be maintained in inactive status for no longer than ten years.

(b) To reactivate a license on inactive status, the licensee must make written application to the Board, pay a reactivation fee equal to one and one-half (1 1/2) times the current license renewal fee, and provide proof of compliance with continuing education requirements during the time the license was inactive.

(c) In addition to the requirements in subsection (b) of this rule, if the license has been on inactive status for a period of five (5) years or more, the licensee shall be required to demonstrate competence to practice by completion of one of the following requirements within the last two (2) years prior to submission of the application for reactivation:

(1) retake and pass the exam required for licensure;

(2) show proof of licensure and at least 520 hours of practice in another state;

(3) show proof of at least 520 hours of practice in a setting exempt from licensure pursuant to 59 O.S. § 1604;
