Revocation

PURPOSE: This rule describes how an interpreter’s certification may be revoked by the Board for Certification of Interpreters, and what an interpreter must do to regain certification after revocation. (1) The Board for Certification of Interpreters may revoke an interpreter’s certification in the Missouri Interpreters Certification System (MICS) if that interpreter engages in any of the actions specified in 209.317(1), RSMo. (2) An interpreter shall be given written notice that his/her certification has been revoked, and shall be informed in that notice of their right to request a hearing to appeal the revocation decision. (3) The board shall provide that any such hearing concerning revocation of a certificate shall follow administrative procedures for hearings as provided in Chapter 536, RSMo. (4) If an interpreter’s certification is revoked by the board, that interpreter cannot apply for reinstatement of their certification. Rather, they can only regain certification by beginning the certification process anew, and must follow the procedures for application (5 CSR 100-200.050), taking the written test (5 CSR 100-200.060) and taking the performance test (5 CSR 100-200.070). (5) A person whose certification has been revoked must wait no less than one (1) year from the date of revocation before they can again apply for certification.
