If a licensee has not been commissioned for over 2 years and hasn't met minimum continuing education requirements, what is the status of their license?

The correct answer is that the license is considered inactive. This status occurs when a licensee fails to fulfill specific requirements necessary to maintain an active license, such as being commissioned or completing the requisite continuing education within a defined time frame. By not meeting these obligations for over two years, the license does not retain its active status but is instead classified as inactive.

An inactive license means that the individual is not authorized to perform the duties and responsibilities associated with that license until they meet the necessary criteria to reactivate it. This may involve completing the required continuing education, undergoing re-commissioning procedures, or fulfilling any other criteria set forth by the licensing authority.

On the other hand, other statuses like suspended or permanently revoked would imply a more severe consequence due to violations or misconduct, while an active status indicates the individual meets all requirements to practice. Therefore, the appropriate designation for someone who has not been commissioned for over two years and has not completed the necessary continuing education is that their license is inactive.
