(TEXT OF BILL BEGINS ON NEXT PAGE)
Be it enacted by the Legislature of the State of Arizona:
Section 1. Section 32-127, Arizona Revised Statutes, is amended to read:
32-127. Renewal of certification or registration; delinquency penalty; inactive status; renewal fees; home inspector‑in‑training requirement
A. The board shall establish a system for renewing certification or registration.
B. Except as provided in section 32-4301, certificates of registration or certification are invalid after their expiration date unless renewed by payment of the required renewal fee. If the renewal fee is not paid prior to the expiration date, it shall be accompanied by a penalty fee equal to one‑sixth of the renewal fee for each year or fraction of a year of delinquency.
C. The board shall cancel a certificate of registration or certification if it has remained invalid for one renewal period and shall require a new application, accompanied by the application fee for reregistration or recertification.
D. A registrant shall not practice, offer to practice or advertise if the certificate of registration or the certification is inactive or invalid.
E. A registrant who retires from the active practice of any board regulated profession or occupation or who is not currently practicing that board-regulated profession or occupation in this state may request that the board place the registrant's certificate of registration or certification on inactive status. The registrant shall submit the request in writing to the board.
F. If the board has invalidated, pursuant to subsection B of this section, the certificate of registration of a registrant who seeks to place the certificate of registration on inactive status, the registrant shall submit all penalty fees that are due with the registrant's application for inactive status.
G. A registrant shall not place the registrant's certificate of registration on inactive status if the person's certificate of registration has been canceled by the board pursuant to subsection C of this section.
H. A registrant who holds an inactive certificate of registration may apply to the board to reactivate the certificate of registration. The board shall reactivate an inactive certificate of registration if the registrant submits a completed application on a form prescribed by the board and meets the qualifications for professional registration set forth in section 32‑122.01. A registrant who seeks reactivation of the registrant's certificate of registration and who has not been engaged registered in the profession in which the registrant seeks reactivation for the five years immediately preceding the date of the application for reactivation shall take the applicable professional examination.
I. The board shall establish the renewal fee for each certificate or registration issued pursuant to this chapter.
J. The board may not renew the registration of a home inspector‑in‑training if the registrant has not passed within two years preceding renewal application a written examination approved by the board pursuant to section 32‑122.02, subsection A, paragraph 3.
Sec. 2. Retroactivity
This act applies retroactively to from and after December 31, 2012.
