A license that has expired under part 5300.0290 may be reinstated if:

A.

no fact, circumstance, or condition exists which, if the license were reinstated, would justify its revocation or suspension;

B.

the former licensee verifies that the former licensee has not engaged in the practice of marriage and family therapy in this state or any other state, or used a title denoting marriage and family therapist since expiration of the license unless licensed by another state. The verification must be accompanied by a notarized affirmation that the statement is true and correct to the best knowledge and belief of the former licensee;

the former licensee submits to the board a completed application for reinstatement on a form provided by the board;

the former licensee pays the reinstatement fee specified in part 5300.0360, item H;

Expiration of less than five years.

A former licensee whose license expired under part 5300.0290 less than five years previous to the application for reinstatement must:

retake the written examination required for licensure of marriage and family therapists given by the board according to part 5300.0240, subpart 3;

Practice without a license.

A former licensee who has engaged in the practice of marriage and family therapy in this state or used a title denoting marriage and family therapist since the date of expiration of the license, is subject to denial of reinstatement or disciplinary action at the time of reinstatement. Nothing in this subpart precludes the board from seeking injunctive relief under Minnesota Statutes, section 214.11 for the unauthorized practice of marriage and family therapy or from referring the matter to criminal law enforcement officials under Minnesota Statutes, section 148B.32, subdivision 3.

Subp. 5.
