Currentness
a) An interpreter who is the subject of an investigation or a pending disciplinary proceeding may resign from enrollment as a Registered or Certified Courtroom Interpreter, and thereby relinquish the right to engage in courtroom interpreting in this state, by delivering to the Board a signed affidavit stating that the interpreter desires to resign and that:
1) The resignation is freely and voluntarily rendered, the interpreter is not subject to coercion or duress, and the interpreter is fully aware of the consequences of submitting the resignation;
2) The interpreter is aware that there is presently pending an investigation into, or a proceeding involving, allegations that there exist grounds for discipline, specifying particularly the misconduct alleged; and
3) The interpreter understands that no application for reinstatement may be filed prior to the lapse of five (5) years from the effective date of the resignation.
b) Upon receipt of the required affidavit, the Board shall deliver it to the Chief Justice, or if a formal disciplinary proceeding case file has been opened, file it with the Clerk of the Supreme Court, and the Supreme Court may enter an order approving the resignation pending disciplinary proceedings. An interpreter who so resigns shall not be permitted to apply for reinstatement until five (5) years have lapsed from the effective date of the resignation, and subject to the requirements of Rule 9 of the Rules Governing Disciplinary Proceedings.
