Inactive status. A hearing instrument dispenser who notifies the Department, on the prescribed forms, may place his or her license on inactive status and shall be exempt from payment of renewal fees until he or she notifies the Department in writing, of the intention to resume the practice of testing, fitting, dispensing, selecting, recommending, and servicing hearing aids and pays the current renewal fee and demonstrates compliance with any continuing education that may be required.
