CHAPTER 26
REINSTATEMENT AFTER DISCIPLINARY ACTION
[Prior to 7/19/06, see 653—Chapter 12]
653—26.1(17A) Reinstatement. Any person whose license has not been permanently suspended or revoked by the board may apply to the board for reinstatement in accordance with the terms and conditions of the order of revocation or suspension.
	26.1(1) If the order of revocation or suspension did not establish terms and conditions upon which reinstatement might occur, or if the license was voluntarily surrendered, an initial application for reinstatement may not be made until one year has elapsed from the date of the board order or the date of voluntary surrender.
	26.1(2) All proceedings for reinstatement shall be initiated by the respondent, who shall file with the board an application for the reinstatement of the respondent’s license. Such application shall be docketed in the original case in which the license was revoked, suspended, or relinquished. All proceedings upon the petition for reinstatement shall be subject to the same rules of procedure as other cases before the board.
	26.1(3) An application for reinstatement shall allege facts which, if established, will be sufficient to enable the board to determine that the basis for the revocation or suspension of the respondent’s license no longer exists and that it will be in the public interest for the license to be reinstated. The burden of proof to establish such facts shall be on the respondent.
	26.1(4) At the board’s discretion, the board and the licensee may agree to enter into a reinstatement order by agreement, in lieu of a formal reinstatement hearing before the board.
	26.1(5) A reinstatement order must be based upon the affirmative vote of a quorum of the board. The reinstatement order is public information pursuant to 653—25.32(17A).
	26.1(6) A physician seeking reinstatement under this rule whose license became inactive during the period of suspension or revocation is also required to complete the reactivation process set forth in 653—9.13(147,148,150,150A) or 653—9.14(147,148,150,150A).
This rule is intended to implement Iowa Code chapters 17A, 147, 148, and 272C.
