Comparison with rules in adjacent states:
Illinois:
Rules of the Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation establish requirements for late renewal and restoration of an athletic trainer license (68 Ill. Adm. Code 1160.40 and 1160.50).
The holder of a license may renew the license during the month preceding the expiration date by paying the required fee and completing the continuing education requirements under 68 Ill. Adm. Code 1160.65.
A person seeking restoration of a license after it has expired or has been placed on inactive status for less than 5 years must file an application with the required fee and proof of completion of 40 hours of continuing education in accordance with 68 Ill. Adm. Code 1160.65 in the 2 years immediately preceding the restoration application.

Evidence of continued active participation in athletic training during the 2 years prior to the restoration application, and proof of completion of an additional 20 hours of continuing education in accordance with 68 Ill. Adm. Code 1160.65.
Iowa:
Rules of the Iowa Board of Athletic Training establish requirements for late renewal, reactivation, and reinstatement of an athletic trainer license (645 IAC 351.9, 351.15, and 351.16).
A licensee seeking renewal must submit a completed renewal application and renewal fee before the license expiration date, meet the continuing education requirements under 645 IAC 352.2, and certify completion of all training in child and dependent adult abuse identification and reporting required under 645 IAC 351.9(4).
To apply for reactivation of an inactive license, a licensee must submit all of the following:
A completed reactivation application and reactivation fee
Verification of completing 50 hours of continuing education within 2 years of application
Verification of the status of the license from every jurisdiction in which the applicant practiced athletic training during the time the Iowa license has been inactive.

A licensee whose license has been revoked, suspended, or voluntarily surrendered must apply for and receive reactivation of the license as provided above and apply for and receive reinstatement of the license. The application for reinstatement must, as required under 645 IAC 11.31, be filed in accordance with any applicable terms and conditions of the order of revocation or suspension. If the order of revocation or suspension does not establish terms and conditions upon which reinstatement might occur, or if the license was voluntarily surrendered, the application may not be filed until one year from the date of the order or the date of voluntary surrender. The application must allege facts which, if established, will be sufficient to enable the Board to reinstate the license.
Michigan:
Rules of the Michigan Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs establish requirements for late renewal of a license and relicensure to practice athletic training in Michigan (Mich Admin Code, R 338.1345 and R 338.1349).
An applicant for license renewal must currently hold and have held at all times during the 3-year period immediately preceding the expiration date of the license certification in emergency cardiac care, cardiopulmonary resuscitation, and first aid. The applicant must also have completed 75 hours of continuing education in activities approved by the Board in the 3 years preceding the application for renewal. Submission of an application for renewal constitutes the applicant’s certification of compliance with these requirements.
An applicant whose license has lapsed for less than 3 years preceding the date of application may be relicensed if the applicant submits a completed application and required fee, establishes good moral character, and submits evidence of both current emergency cardiac care certification and completion of at least 75 hours of Board-approved continuing education during the 3 years immediately preceding application.
An applicant whose license has lapsed for 3 years or more preceding the date of application may be relicensed if the applicant submits a completed application and required fee, establishes good moral character, and submits fingerprints and evidence of both current emergency cardiac care certification and completion of at least 75 hours of Board-approved continuing education during the 3 years immediately preceding application.
