4114.535 - Employment escrow status provision for a department-issued license.

(A) Upon a written request to the department, an individual, who has a current, valid department-issued license under this chapter, and who is employed as a full-time inspector by the department, or a Ohio Board of Building Standards certified building department, or a Ohio county health department, in such a related field of inspection, may place their department-issued license in a continuous employment escrow status with the department. (B) The department-issued license-holder shall be employed as a full-time inspector as described heretofore for the duration of the employment escrow status. In addition, the license-holder will also be exempt from the payment of any fee or renewal requirement of the department for such license, but only for the period of time in which their department-issued license is in this employment escrow status. (C) A department-issued license that is in employment escrow status shall become invalid, unless its validity is re-established within 90 calendar days after the cessation of such required inspection employment status of the license-holder. Re-establishment of the license shall occur with a written request to the department for either reactivation or elective suspension (escrow) of the department-issued license already in employment escrow status. In addition, the payment of the prescribed fees in the fee schedule and all of the requirements for reestablishment of the license with the department for either a license renewal or elective suspension (escrow) status, as applicable, shall be required.
