Current through Register Vol. 54, No. 28, July 13, 2024
A licensed engineer, land surveyor or geologist who has
						allowed his licensure status to lapse by failing to register biennially with
						the Board may apply to the Board for reactivation of licensure status by
						satisfying the requirements of paragraph (1) on forms provided by the
						Board.
(1) A licensee applying for
					 reactivation of licensure status is required to pay the current registration
					 fee and submit a reactivation application verifying the period of time in which
					 the licensee did not practice in this Commonwealth. Unless excused by the Board
					 for good cause under section 4.5(g) of the act (63 P. S. §
												151.5(g)), the Board will
					 not reactivate any license until all delinquent continuing education, not to
					 exceed 24 PDH, has been completed. Notwithstanding the general requirement in
					 §
											37.111(b)
					 (relating to continuing education), an applicant for reactivation of an
					 inactive license may complete this required continuing education during the
					 biennial renewal period for which reactivation is sought. Completion of this
					 previously-delinquent continuing education is in addition to the continuing
					 education required for the biennium during which the license is
					 reactivated.
(2) A licensee who
					 seeks to reactivate his licensure status will not be assessed a late renewal
					 fee for the preceding biennial registration periods in which the licensee did
					 not engage in practice in this Commonwealth.
(3) With the exception of individuals who are
					 engaged in the practice of engineering, land surveying or geology in a field
					 which is exempt from licensure under section 5 of the act (63 P. S. §
												152), a licensee whose licensure status has
					 lapsed due to the failure to register biennially with the Board, is prohibited
					 from the practice of engineering, land surveying or geology as applicable in
					 this Commonwealth unless the licensure status is reactivated. If a licensee,
					 who is not exempt from licensure, engages in practice in this Commonwealth
					 during a period in which the licensees' registration is not renewed, the
					 licensee is required to pay a late fee of $5 for each month or part of a month
					 beyond the date specified for renewal, as provided in section 225 of the Bureau
					 of Professional and Occupational Affairs Fee Act (63 P. S. §
												1401-225), in addition to the prescribed
					 biennial renewal fee. The payment of a late fee does not preclude the Board
					 from taking disciplinary action against a licensee for practicing the
					 profession of engineering, land surveying or geology as applicable in this
					 Commonwealth without a current license.
