privilege; and
(x) Report to the commission adverse action taken by

remove a licensee's compact privilege in the remote state for a

necessary actions to protect the health and safety of its
citizens. The licensee may be ineligible for a compact privilege
in any state until the specific time for removal has passed and

is removed, the individual may lose the compact privilege in any
other remote state until the following occur:

been met;
(iii) Two (2) years have elapsed from the date of
completing requirements for 4(h)(i) and (ii); and
(iv) The compact privileges are reinstated by the
commission and the compact data system is updated to reflect
reinstatement.
(j) If a licensee's compact privilege in any remote state
is removed due to an erroneous charge, privileges shall be
restored through the compact data system.

section [section 4(h)] have been met, the licensee must meet the
requirements in subsection (a) of this section [section 4(a)] to
obtain a compact privilege in a remote state.
