| (a) When a licensee has offered the surrender of that
person's license in response to a complaint, the department will consider
whether to accept the surrender of the license. A licensee will be
deemed to have offered the surrender of that person's license in response
to a complaint when the surrender is offered after the licensee has
received notice that a complaint has been received by the department.
A licensee will be deemed to have received notice that a complaint
has been received by the department three days after a letter notifying
the licensee is mailed by the department.
(b) Surrender of a license without the department's
acceptance thereof shall not deprive the department of jurisdiction
under the Act, this subchapter, or other applicable law.
(c) When the department accepts the surrender of a
license offered in response to a complaint, the license surrender
is deemed to be the result of a formal disciplinary action and an
order shall be prepared accepting the license surrender on that basis.
(d) If the department accepts the surrender of a license
offered in response to a complaint, the person is not eligible to
apply for a license, registration, or certification under this subchapter
for a minimum of two years after the date of acceptance of the surrender.
