Reinstatement of Apprentice Program Registration

(1) Any apprentice program deregistered pursuant to 454 CMR 26.09 may be reinstated, at the discretion of the Deputy Director, upon presentation to the Deputy Director of adequate evidence that the condition that gave rise to the action has been rectified. Following a deregistration, the apprentice sponsor may not file a request for reinstatement of registration prior to six months after the effective date of the deregistration. Upon reinstatement of an apprentice program following a suspension, the apprentices employed under such program shall be given credit for any bona fide hands-on training or related instruction obtained by such apprentices during the period of the suspension. However, the amount of credit for hands-on training shall not exceed the number of hours of such training corresponding to the term of suspension in the trade in which the apprentice is registered.
