If a licensing applicant fails to complete the licensing process and their records show no activity for six consecutive years, the board will consider the application abandoned. No activity includes, but is not limited to:

(1) Failure to submit the required documents within six consecutive years from the receipt of the most recent information submitted.

(2) Failure to provide the board with any written communication during six consecutive years indicating the applicant is attempting to complete the licensing process.

(3) If the application is considered abandoned, it may be archived or destroyed, and the applicant will be required to reapply for licensure and comply with the licensing requirements in effect at the time of reapplication.
