Current through Register Vol. 46, No. 28, July 10, 2024
(a) The
				Committee on the Professions shall review and submit its recommendation to the
				Board of Regents for final determinations in the following cases:
(1) applications pursuant to Education Law,
				section
				6506(5), for the waiver of
				an education, experience or examination requirement on the ground that the
				requirement has been substantially met; and
(2) petitions for restoration of a
				professional license which has been revoked or surrendered pursuant to section 6510 or 6510-a of the Education Law or
				title II-A of article 2 of the Public Health Law. For individuals served prior
				to June 20, 1997 with an order of revocation, acceptance of surrender, or
				denial of an application for restoration or reinstatement by vote of the Board
				of Regents, at least one year shall have elapsed from the date of such service
				for the acceptance by the department of a petition to the Board of Regents for
				restoration of a license or certificate, except that a period of time during
				which the license was suspended during the pendency of the discipline
				proceeding may reduce the one-year waiting period. For individuals served on or
				after June 20, 1997 with an order of revocation, acceptance of surrender, or
				denial of an application for restoration or reinstatement by vote of the Board
				of Regents, at least three years shall have elapsed from the date of such
				service for the acceptance by the department of a petition to the Board of
				Regents for restoration of a license or certificate, except that a period of
				time during which the license was suspended during the pendency of the
				discipline proceeding may reduce the three- year waiting period. This section
				shall not apply to restoration of licenses which have been temporarily
				surrendered pursuant to Education Law, section
				6510-b, or Public Health Law, section
				230(13).
(i) An applicant may submit a response to the
				Committee on the Professions' recommendation to the Board of Regents, provided
				that such response shall not contain any new evidentiary material. Any response
				filed under this subparagraph shall be filed no later than 15 days following
				the postmarked date of the written notification of the decision or
				recommendation of the Committee on the Professions.
(ii) If an applicant has failed to remain
				current with developments in the profession, and a substantial question is
				presented as to the applicant's current fitness to enter into the active
				practice of the profession, the Board of Regents may require that the applicant
				take and obtain satisfactory grades on a proficiency examination satisfactory
				to the department prior to the issuance of a license or limited
				permit.
(iii) An applicant shall
				pay to the department a fee of $750 at the time he or she submits an
				application for the restoration of a professional license, which has been
				revoked or surrendered as prescribed in this paragraph.
