Lapsed certifications

Notwithstanding the provisions in this chapter regarding renewal of lapsed certifications, once a certification has lapsed, the individual who held the lapsed certification may not practice as a certified chiropractic clinical assistant or use a title reserved under state law for individuals who are certified by the board until the individual's certification is renewed or until a new certification is issued. An individual whose certification has lapsed but who continues to practice as a certified chiropractic clinical assistant or use a restricted title violates state law. Such a violation is grounds for denying an application by the former certification holder for renewal of the lapsed certification or for a new certification.
