TCA § 62-18-128 — Retiring license — Reinstatement — Retirement of license no bar to disciplinary action — Nontransferable

Any licensee may retire the licensee's license by submitting a form prescribed by the board accompanied by the current active license certificate and a fee of twenty-five dollars ($25.00). Upon receipt of an acceptable application to retire, the board shall issue a retired license certificate to the surveyor. The holder of a retired license shall not be entitled to practice as a surveyor unless the licensee is reinstated in accordance with subsection (c). Any licensee who is not engaged in work or activities that require a surveyor's license may apply for a retired license. A retired license may be reinstated by submitting an application acceptable to the board, by paying the full renewal fee for an active license and by fulfilling all other requirements of this part, including, but not limited to, successfully completing all examination requirements. The retired status of a license shall not bar any disciplinary action by the board against a licensee for any of the causes provided in this part. No retired license is transferable. The board is authorized to promulgate rules and regulations to effectuate the purposes of this section. All such rules and regulations shall be promulgated in accordance with the Uniform Administrative Procedures Act, compiled in title 4, chapter 5.
