				card.
4. The pharmacy technician
				certificate and annual registration card, or copy thereof, must be available or

				badge while in the pharmacy which clearly identifies the person as a "pharmacy

				shall be entitled to registration as a registered pharmacy technician in North
				Dakota.

				A pharmacy technician holding a certificate of registration as a pharmacy
				technician in North Dakota may go on inactive status, and continue to hold a

				inactive status will not be required to meet the continuing education
				requirements of the board under  chapter 61-02-07.1. In order for a pharmacy
				technician to change an inactive status registration to an active status of
				registration, the pharmacy technician must complete ten hours of approved

				granted upon application for registration if the individual holds a
				registration or license as a pharmacy technician in another state and has
				worked under such license or registration for at least two of the last four
				years.
b. This provisional
				registration must be without fee until one year after the first renewal period
				has passed. This allows a maximum of two years without payment of a
				registration or renewal fee.
c. If
				the applicant does not meet all the criteria for registration under North
				Dakota laws or rules, the applicant must complete those qualifications before
				the applicant's provisional registration period expires to continue
				registration.
