B. The Compact privilege is valid until the expiration or

revocation of the qualifying license unless terminated pursuant to

an adverse action. The licensee must also comply with all of the

requirements of subsection A of this section to maintain the Compact

privilege in a remote state. If the participating state takes

adverse action against a qualifying license, the licensee shall lose

the Compact privilege in any remote state in which the licensee has

a Compact privilege until all of the following occur:

1. The license is no longer limited or restricted; and

2. Two (2) years have elapsed from the date on which the

license is no longer limited or restricted due to the adverse

action.

C. Once a restricted or limited license satisfies the

requirements of paragraphs 1 and 2 of subsection B of this section,

the licensee must meet the requirements of subsection A of this

section to obtain a Compact privilege in any remote state.

D. For each remote state in which a PA seeks authority to

prescribe controlled substances, the PA shall satisfy all

requirements imposed by such state in granting or renewing such

authority.
