Sec. 500-120. Conflicts of interest; inactive status.

(a) A person, partnership, association, or corporation licensed by the Department who, due to employment with any unit of government that would cause a conflict of interest with the holding of that license, notifies the Director in writing on forms prescribed by the Department and, subject to rules of the Department, makes payment of applicable licensing renewal fees, may elect to place the license on an inactive status.

(b) A licensee whose license is on inactive status may have the license restored by making application to the Department on such form as may be prescribed by the Department. The application must be accompanied with a fee of $100 plus the current applicable license fee.

(c) A license may be placed on inactive status for a 2-year period, and upon request, the inactive status may be extended for a successive 2-year period not to exceed a cumulative 4-year inactive period. After a license has been on inactive status for 4 years or more, the licensee must meet all of the standards required of a new applicant before the license may be restored to active status.

(d) If requests for inactive status are not renewed as set forth in subsection (c), the license will be taken off the inactive status and the license will lapse immediately.
