24.219.921    APPLICATION TO CONVERT AN ACTIVE STATUS CERTIFICATE TO AN INACTIVE STATUS CERTIFICATE AND CONVERSION FROM INACTIVE TO ACTIVE STATUS

(1) A CBHPSS may place a certificate on inactive status by either indicating on the renewal form that inactive status is desired or by informing the board office in writing that an inactive status is desired. The certificate must have been active and in good standing prior to the first time it is placed on inactive status. It is the sole responsibility of the inactive CBHPSS to keep the board informed as to any change of address during the period of time the certificate remains on inactive status. Inactive CBHPSSs must pay the inactive certificate fee annually to maintain certification status.

(2) A certificate shall not be on inactive status for more than five consecutive years. At the end of the fifth year that a certificate has been on inactive status, the certificate must be converted to active status. If the certificate is not converted to active status, the provisions of 37-1-141, MCA, apply to the renewal, lapse, expiration, or termination of the certificate.

(3) An inactive status certificate does not entitle the holder to practice as a CBHPSS in the state of Montana. Upon application and payment of the appropriate fee, the board may reactivate an inactive certificate if the applicant does each of the following:

(a) presents satisfactory evidence that the applicant has not been out of active practice for more than five years and that the applicant has attended 10 hours of continuing education per year of inactive status, with a maximum of 50 hours of continuing education, which comply with the continuing education rules; and

(b) submits certification from the jurisdictions where the applicant is licensed, certified, or has practiced that the applicant:

(i) is in good standing and without any disciplinary action against the applicant's license or certificate; or

(ii) if not in good standing, an explanation of the nature of the violation(s) resulting in that status including any disciplinary treatment imposed.
