A physician assistant with an inactive status license shall be excused from payment of renewal fees and shall not practice as a physician assistant. Any licensee who engages in practice while his license is lapsed or on inactive status shall be considered to be practicing without a license, which shall be grounds for discipline pursuant to R.S. 37:1360.34. A physician assistant requesting restoration to active status from inactive status shall be required to pay the current renewal fees and shall be required to meet the criteria for renewal as provided for in R.S. 37:1360.27.
