Sec. 70. Restoration of expired licenses. A massage therapist who has permitted his or her license to expire or who has had his or her license on inactive status may have his or her license restored by making application to the Department and filing proof acceptable to the Department of his or her fitness to have his or her license restored, including sworn evidence certifying to active practice in another jurisdiction satisfactory to the Department, and by paying the required restoration fee and showing proof of completion of required continuing education. Licensees must provide proof of completion of 24 hours approved continuing education to renew their license.
If the massage therapist has not maintained an active practice in another jurisdiction satisfactory to the Department, the Board shall determine, by an evaluation program established by rule his or her fitness to resume active status and may require the massage therapist to complete a period of evaluated clinical experience and may require successful completion of an examination.
