| (4) The department may deny any petitioner if, in the
judgement of the commissioner or designee, the reason for the original
action continues to exist or if the petitioner has failed to offer
sufficient proof that there is no longer a threat to public health,
safety, and/or confidence.
(5) If the reapplication is allowed, the petitioner
shall be required to meet the requirements for licensure as described
in §157.40 of this title (relating to Paramedic Licensure), or
certification as described in §157.33 of this title (relating
to Certification), §157.43 of this title (relating to Course
Coordinator Certification), or §157.44 of this title (relating
to Emergency Medical Service Instructor Certification) and in addition
shall meet the terms of probation in subsection (f) of this section.
(h) Surrender of a certificate or license. Surrender
of a certificate or license shall not deprive the department of jurisdiction
in regard to disciplinary action against the certificant or licensee.
An individual who wishes to surrender his or her certification or
license prior to the expiration of the certificate or license may
do so by:
(1) completing a Surrender of Certificate or License
statement; and
(2) in the event that a disciplinary action is pending
or reasonably imminent, the certificant or licensee must acknowledge
that the surrender constitutes a plea of "no contest" to the allegations
upon which the disciplinary action is predicated.
(i) Notification of disposition. A copy of the order
of final disposition of proposed disciplinary action shall be sent
to any licensed EMS provider, first responder organization, medical
director, institution or facility with which the certificant or licensee
is known to be associated at the address shown in the current records
of the department.
