If an individual has been licensed by the Board to practice as a nursing home administrator in the State in accordance with the requirements of this subtitle, the individual may be licensed subsequently as a nursing home administrator on inactive status, retaining the licensee’s original license number. The Board shall place a licensee on inactive status if the licensee submits to the Board: An application for inactive status on the form required by the Board; and The inactive status fee set by the Board. A licensee’s inactive status expires on the second anniversary of its effective date, unless the licensee renews the inactive status for a 2–year term as provided in this section. The Board shall provide a licensee who has complied with the requirements of paragraph (1) of this subsection with written notification of: The date that the licensee’s inactive status becomes effective; The date that the licensee’s 2–year term of inactive status expires; and The consequences of: Not renewing inactive status before expiration of the 2–year term of inactive status; and Not resuming active status within the 5–year period of inactive status, beginning on the first day of inactive status. A licensee on inactive status may not practice as a nursing home administrator in the State. The Board shall issue a license to a licensee who is on inactive status if the licensee: Completes an application form for reactivation of a license before expiration of the 2–year term of inactive status on the form required by the Board; Complies with the renewal requirements in effect at the time the licensee seeks to reactivate the license; Meets the continuing education requirements set by the Board; Has not practiced as a nursing home administrator in the State while on inactive status; Pays all appropriate fees set by the Board; Has been on inactive status for less than 5 years; and Is otherwise entitled to be licensed. Before the Board may reactivate the license of an individual who has been on inactive status for 5 years or more, the individual shall: Submit a new application; Pay all appropriate fees set by the Board; Complete a Board approved 1–month administrator refresher program; Pass the State’s standards examination; and Submit satisfactory evidence of having completed a State and national criminal history records check in accordance with § 9–302.1 of this subtitle. A nursing home administrator whose inactive license expires before the nursing home administrator returns to active licensure shall meet the reinstatement requirements of § 9–312 of this subtitle.
