Ala. Admin. Code r. 545-X-3-.15
Applications for reinstatement of a license to practice medicine which has been revoked or suspended by the Commission and applications for modification or termination of probation or removal or modification of restrictions concerning a license to practice medicine filed with the Commission within 24 months from the effective date of the Commission's order may, within the discretion of the Commission, be dismissed by the commission as prematurely filed, subject to the right of the applicant to refile the application at a later date. An application as described above which is filed with the Commission more than 24 months following the effective date of the Commission's order may be granted or may be set for a hearing before the Commission, and such hearing shall be conducted as a contested case under the Alabama Administrative Procedure Act. The commission shall be without jurisdiction to reinstate the license to practice medicine of a physician whose license was revoked or indefinitely suspended by the Commission or voluntarily surrendered while under investigation or during the pendency of an administrative hearing if the application for reinstatement is received more than five years after the effective date of the revocation or surrender of the license. No application for reinstatement of a license to practice medicine which has been revoked or suspended by the Commission shall be considered unless a criminal background check shall have been obtained, pursuant to Code of Ala. 1975, Section 34-24-337 as amended by Act 2008-397.
