Current through all regulations passed and filed through July 1, 2024
(A) A person licensed as a speech-language
			 pathologist or audiologist may, at the time of biennial renewal, apply for
			 inactive status of his/her license. The application for inactive status shall
			 be accompanied by the fee prescribed by rule
			 4753-5-01
			 of the Administrative Code and by a signed statement that the licensee will not
			 engage in the active practice of speech-language pathology or audiology, as
			 defined by divisions (C) and (G) of section
			 4753.01 of the Revised Code,
			 while the license is inactive.
(B)
			 A person whose license is inactive may request a return to active status at any
			 time by submitting a restoration application to the board. Applications shall
			 be:
(1) Typewritten or printed in ink or
			 submitted electronically via the Ohio e-license system;
(2) Signed by the applicant or electronically
			 signed if applying electronically via the Ohio e-license system;
(3) Accompanied by the fee prescribed by rule
			 4753-5-01
			 of the Administrative Code;
(4)
			 Accompanied by such evidence, statements, or documents as specified on the
			 form; and
(5) Contain proof that
			 the applicant completed at least twenty contact hours of continuing education
			 in accordance with rule
			 4753-4-01 of
			 the Administrative Code within the two year period immediately preceding the
			 application for restoration. Contact hours used to meet the requirements of
			 this paragraph shall not be used to renew the restored license.
(a) A license in inactive status for less
			 than twelve months shall be restored to active status when the licensee
			 demonstrates proof he or she completed an additional ten contact hours of
			 continuing education during the time the license was in inactive
			 status.
(b) A license in inactive
			 status for twelve months to twenty-four months shall be restored to active
			 status when the licensee demonstrates proof he or she completed an additional
			 twenty contact hours of continuing education during the time the license was in
			 inactive status.
(c) A license in
			 inactive status for twenty-five months to forty-eight months shall be restored
			 to active status when the licensee demonstrates proof he or she completed an
			 additional forty contact hours of continuing education during the time the
			 license was in inactive status.
(d)
			 A license in inactive status for forty-nine months to sixty months shall be
			 restored to active status when the licensee demonstrates proof he or she
			 completed an additional fifty contact hours of continuing education during the
			 time the license was in inactive status.
(e)
										 The additional
			 continuing education hours obtained during the time the license was in inactive
			 status to restore an inactive license under this section may count toward the
			 licensee's continuing education requirement for the first renewal of the
			 restored license if they were obtained during the two calendar years
			 immediately prior to the next renewal date following
			 restoration.
