D. “Inactive status” means a New Mexico license that has been placed on non-working status in accordance with board rule 16.16.9 NMAC, provided the licensee is practicing in another state and is currently in good standing with that state. E. “Null and void status” means an expired, retired, or inactive status license that has passed the time limitation set forth in 16.16.11.16 NMAC or 16.16.12.15 NMAC, or 16.16.9.16 NMAC, and is thus lapsed and cannot be reactivated. F. “Lapsed status” means a license that is null and void. G. “Retired status” means a license that has been withdrawn from active status at the request of the licensee because the licensee has retired from business and is no longer practicing optometry in any licensing jurisdiction, but which is still subject to the authority of the board for a period of five years after the license was placed on retired status as specified in 16.16.12.15 NMAC.
