Official statutory text
A license which is not renewed within four years after its expiration may not be renewed, restored, reissued, or reinstated thereafter, but the holder of the license may apply for and obtain a new license if all of the following conditions are met:
(a) No fact, circumstance, or condition exists which, if the license were issued, would justify its revocation or suspension.
(b) The applicant pays all of the fees that would be required of an applicant for a new license.
(c) The applicant takes and passes the examination which would be required of an applicant for a new license. The examination may be waived in any case in which the applicant establishes to the satisfaction of the board that, with due regard for the public interest, the applicant is qualified to engage in the practice of vocational nursing.
The board may, by appropriate regulation, provide for the waiver or refund of all or any part of the application fee in those cases in which a license is issued without an examination under this section.
