(a) Reinstatement of Expired License.

A Master Plumber, Journeyman Plumber, Apprentice Plumber or Restricted Plumber whose License has expired for non-payment of renewal fees may make an application to the Department for reinstatement of license. The application must be supported with an amended experience record covering all experience subsequent to the date of the lapse. In no case shall the reinstatement of the license require apprenticeship, education, or training as a prerequisite for reinstatement except for an individual that was previously licensed as an apprentice plumber wanting to reinstate an apprentice license.

Upon receipt of the application and experience record, the Department will determine whether to reinstate without examination or whether to require an examination.

If reinstatement is granted, the applicant shall pay the applicable reinstatement fee of three hundred twenty-five dollars ($325.00) for Master Plumber License or one hundred fifty dollars ($150.00) for Journeyman Plumber License, in addition to any back fees and penalties assessed under Section XIII (13) of these Rules.

After a license has been delinquent for non-payment of fees for over a period five (5) consecutive years, the application for reinstatement must be supported with an amended experience record covering all experience subsequent to the date of delinquency. Upon receipt of the application and amended experience record, the Committee of Examiners will determine whether to reinstate with or without examination.

A Master Plumber, Journeyman Plumber, Apprentice Plumber or Restricted Plumber whose license has been deferred under Section VII of these Rules may apply for reinstatement by applications to the Department. The Department may reinstate such license without examination upon payment of the current license fee and a reinstatement fee of twenty dollars ($20.00).

After a license has been deferred over a period of five consecutive years, the application for reinstatement must be supported with an amended experience record covering all experience subsequent to the date of deferment. Upon receipt of the application and amended experience record, the Committee of Examiners will determine whether to reinstate without examination or whether to require an examination.
