Reinstatement
15-1-5.5.4. In order for any pharmacist, pharmacy intern, or pharmacy technician whose name has been removed from the register of the board to again become licensed or registered, the pharmacist, pharmacy intern or pharmacy technician shall petition the board, or an authorized committee of the board, for reinstatement, in writing, to show cause for permitting the license or registration to lapse. If his or her license or registration has been expired for one year or less (i.e., the petition for reinstatement is received on or before June 30 of the year after his or her authorization expired), and if the board finds the person otherwise eligible and qualified to practice, the Board shall reinstate that person upon payment of reinstatement fee of $250.00 for a pharmacist plus the renewal fee of $100.00, or upon payment of a reinstatement fee of $50.00 for a pharmacy technician plus the renewal fee of $20.00. If the pharmacist license or pharmacy technician registration has been expired for more than one year (i.e., the petition is received after June 30 of the year after his or her authorization expired), the board finds the person has submitted to the board satisfactory reasons for allowing the license or registration to lapse, and satisfies the board as to his or her qualifications to practice the profession by successfully passing the examinations administered or otherwise required by the board for reinstatement, the Board shall reinstate that person upon payment of reinstatement fee of $250.00 for a pharmacist plus the renewal fee of $100.00, or upon payment of a reinstatement fee of $50.00 for a pharmacy technician plus the renewal fee of $20.00. If a pharmacy intern’s license has been expired for more than a year, he or she must make new application as an intern and pay the required application fee for an initial pharmacy intern license.
