(1) Persons licensed (which for purposes of this article shall include persons referred to as certified) to practice any profession or occupation under this title for which postgraduate study or attendance at educational institutions is required in order to obtain renewal of such licenses may have their names transferred to an inactive licensees category under this section. Every board authorized under this title to issue licenses shall maintain a list of inactive licensees, and upon written notice to such board, any such licensee shall not be required to comply with any postgraduate educational requirements so long as such licensee remains inactive in the profession or occupation. Each such inactive licensee shall continue to meet the normal registration requirements imposed upon his profession or occupation.
(2) Such inactive status shall be noted on the face of any license issued while the licensee remains inactive. Should such person wish to resume the practice of his profession or occupation after being placed on an inactive list, he shall file a proper application therefor, pay the registration renewal fee, and meet any postgraduate study or in-service requirements which the governing board may determine to be applicable to such resumption of practice.
(3) Engaging in the practice of a profession or occupation while on inactive status pursuant to this article may be grounds for revocation.
