Inactive Status

PURPOSE: This rule outlines the process of requesting inactive status to maintain a license for a dietitian. (1) An inactive license shall be renewed biennially. Failure to receive a renewal notice shall not relieve the licensee of the obligation to renew the inactive license and pay the required fee prior to the expiration date of the inactive license. Renewals shall be postmarked no later than the expiration date of the license to avoid the delinquent renewal fee as defined in rules promulgated by the committee. (2) Each inactive licensee shall provide the committee, at the time of application for renewal of the inactive license, with a completed renewal form issued by the committee that shall contain updated information since the preceding application/ renewal period. (3) Pursuant to section 324.216, RSMo, a licensee shall not practice as a dietitian in the state of Missouri while the license is inactive. (4) If an inactive licensee wishes to return a license to active status the licensee shall complete a renewal form and pay the renewal fee as stated in the rules promulgated by the committee. (5) In addition to the requirements set forth in section (4) above, a licensee whose license is inactive shall be required to provide proof from the Commission on Dietetic Registration (CDR) that the inactive licensee has a current registration prior to returning the license to active status.
