Any fees due for fingerprinting background checks shall be paid by the applicant; and (E) The restoration fee. (6) Licensees who request to be classified as inactive pursuant to section 337.030.5, RSMo, may maintain their inactive status and receive a license indicating their inactive status by paying the inactive license renewal fee as provided in 20 CSR 22351.020. Holders of an inactive license need not complete the continuing education requirement. However, a holder of an inactive license shall not have his/her license reactivated until he/she pays the required reactivation fee and in addition submits proof of having completed forty (40) continuing education hours within the two (2) years immediately prior to the date of reactivation. If a holder of an inactive license reactivates at the time of renewal, the licensee shall only be required to pay the renewal fee and in addition submit proof of having completed forty (40) continuing education hours within the two (2) years immediately prior to the date of reactivation.
