(1) (a) The board shall promulgate administrative regulations establishing a reasonable schedule of fees and charges for the issuance and restoration of licenses and certificates, and for the renewal of licenses and certificates issued under KRS 309.350 to 309.364.
(b) Former licensees with an expired license may have their licenses reinstated upon payment of the renewal fee plus a reinstatement fee as promulgated by administrative regulations of the board. If the reinstatement application is made within five (5) years from the date of termination, applicants shall not be required to submit to any examination as a condition for reinstatement.
(c) A revoked license may not be reinstated or renewed. For a license that is reinstated, the licensee shall pay the reinstatement fee and the renewal fee as established by the board through administrative regulations.
(d) A former licensee who fails to reinstate a license within five (5) years after termination may not have it renewed, restored, or reinstated. A person may apply for and obtain a new license by meeting the current requirements for licensure.
(e) The board may require that a person applying for a renewal or reinstatement of licensure show evidence of completion of continuing professional education as prescribed by the board in administrative regulations.
(f) If the board determines that the applicant practiced on an expired license, the board may require one (1) continuing education credit per month of expiration, at the discretion of the board.
(2) Any licensed massage therapist who does not desire to meet the qualifications for active license renewal shall, upon application and payment of an inactive renewal fee, be issued an inactive license. The license shall not entitle the license holder to use the term "licensed massage therapist," or to engage in the practice of massage therapy. The inactive annual renewal fee shall be promulgated by the board in administrative regulation.
(3) To regain active status, the licensee shall, upon the submission of an application, show completion of one (1) hour of continuing professional education for every six
(6) months the license has been in an inactive state, not to exceed five (5) years. Waivers or extensions of continuing education may be approved at the discretion of the board. Beyond five (5) years, the licensee shall meet the requirements in KRS 309.361 to regain active status.
