30 Miss. Code. R. 2901-3.2
In the case of failure to obtain continuing education hours or to neglect to pay the renewal registration fee herein specified, the board may revoke any certificate granted and the holder thereof may be reinstated by complying with the conditions specified in Section 73-19-21 of the Mississippi Code of 1972 as amended and related Code sections. However, no certificate or permit shall be revoked without giving 60 days notice to the delinquent, who, within such period, shall have the right of renewal of such certificate on payment of a renewal fee of $325.00 together with a penalty of $15.00, provided, that retirement from practice for a period not exceeding five (5) years shall not deprive the holder of a certificate of the right to renew his certificate on the payment of all lapsed fees and meeting any applicable continuing education requirements. An optometrist shall not be deemed retired unless he in good faith so advises the board in writing prior to his certificate being revoked for failure to pay the fees required by law. Retired individuals seeking to return to the active practice of optometry under this provision shall pay a renewal fee based on $325.00 per year for the period of his retirement and shall not have the benefit of the reduced fee for restricted practice provided in this rule.
