§ 25-26-13-14 — Expiration, renewal, surrender, and reinstatement of pharmacist's license

(a) Subject to IC 25-1-2-6(e), a
pharmacist's license expires biennially on the date established by the
licensing agency under IC 25-1-5-4, unless renewed before that date.
(b) Subject to IC 25-1-2-6(e), if an application for renewal is not
filed and the required fee paid before the established biennial renewal
date, the license expires and becomes invalid without any action taken
by the board.

has met the continuing education requirements shall be submitted with
the application for license renewal.

pharmacist. The board may impose any conditions it considers
appropriate to the surrender or to the reinstatement of a surrendered
license. The practitioner may not voluntarily surrender the
practitioner's license to the board without the written consent of the
board if any disciplinary proceedings are pending against the
practitioner under this chapter or IC 25-1-9.

the board may reinstate the license only if the person meets the
requirements under IC 25-1-8-6(c).
(f) If a license has been expired for more than three (3) years, the
license may be reinstated by the board if the holder of the license meets
the requirements for reinstatement under IC 25-1-8-6(d).
(g) The board may require a person who applies for a license under
subsection (e) to appear before the board and explain the reason the
person failed to renew the person's license.
