Currentness
(a) The Board may, upon written request of a currently paid up licensee, grant a withdrawal of a forester's license or specialty certificate for a period not to exceed five years at any one time without penalty. The request shall state the reason for withdrawal, and the length of time for which withdrawal is requested. During withdrawal, the person shall not call him or herself a “professional forester” or provide professional forester services of any kind for pay or otherwise in California, or use their registration number anywhere.
(b) Withdrawals shall be granted only for good and sufficient reasons, including, but not limited to the following:
(1) Active duty in the armed services of the United States.
(2) Professional service exclusively outside the State of California.
(3) Ill health or disability.

(5) Retirement may be used as a reason only one time.
(c) Registrants shall be notified in writing whether the request for withdrawal is granted or denied.
(d) Prior to expiration of withdrawal status, notification of required reinstatement will be sent during the regular renewal period. If an application for reinstatement, along with the required fees prescribed, is not presented to the executive officer within the specified withdrawal period, the Board shall revoke the license or certificate.
(e) Reinstatement of a license shall be denied if:
(1) The original withdrawal occurs as part of a stipulated agreement settling a formal disciplinary case, or
(2) An RPF requested license withdrawal after being notified by the executive officer that a disciplinary investigation was being conducted concerning the RPF's license, and that the investigation and any disciplinary proceedings associated with it have not been concluded, including any penalties being imposed.
