                                 CODE OF VIRGINIA

MINIMUM PERIOD FOR REINSTATEMENT AFTER REVOCATION (§ 54.1-2408.2)

When the certificate, registration, permit, or license of any person certified,
registered, permitted, or licensed by one of the health regulatory boards has
been revoked, the board may, after three years and upon the payment of a fee
prescribed by the board, consider an application for reinstatement of a
certificate, registration, permit, or license in the same manner as the original
certificates, registrations, permits, or licenses are granted; however, if a
license has been revoked pursuant to subdivision A 19 of § 54.1-2915, the board
shall not consider an application for reinstatement until five years have passed
since revocation. A board shall conduct an investigation and review an
application for reinstatement after revocation to determine whether there are
causes for denial of the application. The burden of proof shall be on the
applicant to show by clear and convincing evidence that he is safe and competent
to practice. The reinstatement of a certificate, registration, permit, or
license shall require the affirmative vote of three-fourths of the members at
the hearing. In the discretion of the board, such reinstatement may be granted
without further examination.
