(2) When the person in the inactive status decides to reactivate the license a minimum of 15 continuing education hours will be required. The board will require 15 hours for each year the license is inactive up to a maximum of 45 contact hours.

(3) To meet continuing education makeup requirements 35% must come from classroom hours.
