RESTRICTED VOLUNTEER LICENSE (§ 54.1-2928.1)

A. The Board may issue a restricted volunteer license to a practitioner of the
healing arts who:

   1. Held an unrestricted license issued by the Virginia Board of Medicine or by
   a board in another state as a licensee in good standing at the time the
   license expired or became inactive;

   2. Is practicing within the limits of his license in accordance with
   provisions of &#xA7; 54.1-106; and

   3. Attests to knowledge of the laws and regulations governing his branch of
   the healing arts in Virginia.

B. A person holding a restricted volunteer license under this section shall not
be required to complete continuing education for the first renewal of such a
license. Subsequent renewals will require continuing education as specified by
Board regulation.

C. If a practitioner with a restricted volunteer license issued under this
section has not held an active, unrestricted license and been engaged in active
practice within the past four years, he shall only practice his profession if a
doctor of medicine or osteopathic medicine with an active, unrestricted Virginia
license reviews the quality of care rendered by the practitioner with the
restricted volunteer license at least every 90 days.

D. Such license may be renewed every two years in accordance with regulations
promulgated by the Board.

E. A practitioner holding a restricted volunteer license issued pursuant to this
section is subject to the provisions of this chapter, the regulations
promulgated under this chapter, and the disciplinary regulations which apply to
all such practitioners in Virginia.

F. The application fee and the biennial renewal fee for restricted volunteer
license under this section shall be no more than one-half the renewal fee for an
inactive license in the same branch of the healing arts.
