Section 811.10.11. Application for reinstatement.

A person whose credential has been suspended, revoked, or voluntarily surrendered may apply to the board for reinstatement in accordance with the terms and conditions of the order.

       10.11(1) If the credential was voluntarily surrendered, or if the order for suspension or revocation did not establish terms and conditions for reinstatement, an initial application may not be made until one year has elapsed from the date of the order.

       10.11(2) The application shall allege facts and circumstances which will enable the board to determine that the basis for the sanction or voluntary surrender no longer exists, and that it is in the public interest to reinstate the credential. The burden of proof to establish these facts shall rest with the petitioner.

       10.11(3) The hearing in an application for reinstatement is a contested case within the meaning of Iowa Code section 17A.12.

       10.11(4) The order to grant or deny reinstatement shall incorporate findings of fact and conclusions of law. If reinstatement is granted, terms and conditions for reinstating the credential may be imposed.
