Colorado Revised Statutes Title 12. Professions and Occupations § 12-20-203. Inactive license or certification--rights and responsibilities

(1) Persons licensed or certified to practice any profession or occupation under this title 12 for which postgraduate study or attendance at educational institutions is required in order to obtain renewal of the license or certification may have their names transferred to an inactive licensees or certificate holders category under this section. Every regulator authorized under this title 12 to issue licenses or certifications shall maintain a list of inactive licensees or certificate holders, as applicable, and upon written notice to the regulator, the licensee or certificate holder shall not be required to comply with any postgraduate educational requirements so long as the licensee or certificate holder remains inactive in the profession or occupation. Each inactive licensee or certificate holder shall continue to meet the normal registration requirements imposed upon the licensee's or certificate holder's profession or occupation.

(2) The inactive status shall be noted on the face of any license or certification issued while the licensee or certificate holder remains inactive. If the person seeks to resume the practice of the person's profession or occupation after being placed on an inactive list, the person shall file a proper application to reactivate the license or certification, pay the applicable renewal fee, and meet any postgraduate study or in-service requirements that the regulator may determine to be applicable in order to resume the practice.

(3) Engaging in the practice of a profession or occupation while on inactive status pursuant to this section may be grounds for revocation.
