32-2558. Reinstatement of revoked license

A. On written application the board may issue a new license to a physician assistant whose license was previously revoked by the board if the applicant demonstrates to the board s satisfaction that the applicant is completely rehabilitated with respect to the conduct that was the basis for the revocation. In making its decision the board shall determine:

1. That the applicant has not engaged in any conduct during the revocation period that would have constituted a basis for revocation pursuant to section 32-2551.

2. If a criminal conviction was a basis of the revocation, that the applicant s civil rights have been fully restored pursuant to statute or any other applicable recognized judicial or gubernatorial order.

3. That the applicant has made restitution to any aggrieved person as ordered by a court of competent jurisdiction.

4. That the applicant demonstrates any other standard of rehabilitation the board determines is appropriate.

B. Except as provided in subsection C of this section, a person shall not submit an application for reinstatement less than two years after the date of revocation.

C. The board shall vacate its previous order to revoke a license if that revocation was based on a conviction of a felony or an offense involving moral turpitude and that conviction has been reversed on appeal. The physician assistant may submit an application for reinstatement as soon as the court enters the reversal.

D. An applicant for reinstatement shall comply with all initial licensing requirements prescribed by this chapter.
