				and 4778. of the Administrative Code:
(A) "Permanent revocation" means the
			 permanent loss of a certificate to practice in Ohio and the inability, at any
			 time, to reapply for or hold any certificate to practice in Ohio. An individual
			 whose certificate has been permanently revoked shall forever thereafter be
			 ineligible to hold any certificate to practice, and the board shall not accept
			 from that individual an application for reinstatement or restoration of the
			 certificate or for issuance of any new certificate.
(B) "Revocation" means the loss of a
			 certificate to practice in Ohio. An individual whose certificate has been
			 revoked shall be eligible to submit an application for a new certificate. The
			 application for a new certificate shall be subject to all requirements for
			 certification in effect at the time the application is submitted. In
			 determining whether to grant such an application, the board may consider any
			 violations of Chapters 4730., 4731., 4759.,
			 4760., 4761., 4762., 4774., and 4778. of the
			 Revised Code, whichever is applicable, that were committed by the individual
			 before or after the revocation of the individual's certificate, including those
			 that formed the basis for the revocation. All disciplinary action taken by the
			 board against the revoked certificate shall be made a part of the board's
			 records for any new certificate granted under this rule.
(C) "Suspension" means the temporary loss of
			 a certificate to practice in Ohio. A suspension shall be imposed for either a
			 definite term or an indefinite term.

			 order for a definite term of suspension shall specify the time period of the
			 suspension. A certificate which has been suspended for a definite term shall be
			 reinstated at the conclusion of the specified time period.
(2) An order for an indefinite term of
			 suspension shall contain a written statement of the conditions under which the

			 written application for reinstatement;
