Mississippi Code Title 73. Professions and Vocations § 73-24-27

(1) Except as provided in Section 33-1-39, any license issued under this article shall be subject to renewal and shall expire unless renewed in the manner prescribed by the rules and regulations of the board, upon the payment of a renewal fee and demonstration of completion of continuing professional education. A person's compact privilege in this state shall be valid until the expiration date of that person's home state license. The board may provide for the late renewal of a license or compact privilege upon the payment of a late fee in accordance with its rules and regulations, but no late renewal of a license or compact privilege may be granted more than two (2) years after its expiration.

(2) Upon request and payment of the license fee required, the board shall grant inactive status to a licensee who: (a) does not practice as an occupational therapist or an occupational therapy assistant, (b) does not hold himself or herself out as an occupational therapist or an occupational therapy assistant, and (c) does not maintain any continuing education requirements.

(3) A suspended license is subject to expiration and may be renewed as provided in this section, but such renewal shall not entitle the suspended licensee to engage in the licensed activity or in any other conduct or activity in violation of the order of judgment by which the license or compact privilege was suspended. If a license or compact privilege revoked on disciplinary grounds is reinstated, the licensee, as a condition of reinstatement, shall pay the renewal fee and any late fee that may be applicable. The procedure for the reinstatement of a license that is suspended for being out of compliance with an order for support, as defined in Section 93-11-153, shall be governed by Section 93-11-157 or 93-11-163, as the case may be.
