If a license is revoked for misconduct, what must the licensee prove when reapplying?

When a license is revoked for misconduct, the individual seeking to reapply must demonstrate good cause as to why the revocation should not impede their ability to obtain a new license. This requirement acknowledges that while misconduct may have occurred in the past, there can be circumstances or changes in the individual's situation that warrant consideration for reinstatement.

The justification behind this requirement is to ensure that the regulatory body can evaluate whether the licensee has made necessary changes or improvements in their conduct or circumstances that would indicate they are fit to practice again. This could include evidence of rehabilitation, a change in behavior, or significant life changes that directly address the past misconduct.

This provision allows for a more nuanced approach than simply looking at whether further offenses have occurred or whether there are pending charges. It emphasizes the importance of personal accountability and the potential for growth and change in individuals who have faced disciplinary actions in their professional history.
