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.

A person seeking restoration of a license after it has expired or has been placed on inactive status for 5 years or more must file an application with the required fee, 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, and one of the following:



Sworn evidence of active practice in another jurisdiction.



An affidavit attesting to military service (any person seeking restoration of a license within 2 years after discharge from military service must pay the current renewal fee, but is not required to submit proof of meeting the continuing education requirements).



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.



If the license has been on inactive status for more than 5 years, verification of current certification from the Board of Certification, Inc.

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. In addition, the applicant must meet one of the following requirements:



Successful completion of the Athletic Trainer Credentialing Examination of the Board of Certification, Inc.



Licensure, registration, or certification as an athletic trainer in another state within the 3 years preceding application.



Current certification from the Board of Certification, Inc.

Minnesota:

The Minnesota Statutes, section 148.7809, establish requirements for late renewal and lapse of a registration as an athletic trainer.

An applicant whose license has lapsed may, within 2 annual renewal cycles, renew a license by submitting the required renewal and late fees and a completed application that includes all of the following:



The athletic trainer's name, Minnesota athletic trainer registration number, home address and telephone number, business address and telephone number, and business setting.



Work history for the past year, including the average number of hours worked per week.



A report of any change in status since initial registration or previous registration renewal.



Satisfactory evidence of having met the continuing education requirements under Minnesota Statutes, section 148.7812.



The athletic trainer's signature on a statement that a current copy of a protocol form is on file at the athletic trainer's primary employment site.

In addition, the applicant must submit satisfactory evidence from a licensed medical physician verifying employment in athletic training for eight weeks every three years during the time of the lapse in registration.

A registration that has lapsed and has not been renewed within two annual renewal cycles may not be renewed, reissued, reinstated, or restored. An athletic trainer whose registration is canceled for nonrenewal must obtain a new registration by applying for registration and fulfilling all requirements for initial registration in effect at the time of application.
