(d) Any person regulated pursuant to this section shall be subject to complete regulation under this chapter, except as specifically provided in this section. (e) The program and the Board's regulations shall provide that: (1) The applicant currently has or has had a full and unrestricted license to practice in a state or other jurisdiction which the Board approves, which license is or was at the time of expiration unrestricted and in good standing with no pending disciplinary actions or investigations at the time of expiration. (2) The applicant shall be fully retired from active practice. (3) The applicant shall be in good health and not currently undergoing treatment for a physical or mental condition which would impair the individual's ability to practice with reasonable skill and safety for patients. (4) The applicant certifies, on a form prescribed by the Board, that she intends to limit his or her practice to the program. (5) The licensee shall be subject to such continuing education requirements as the Board shall provide. (6) The applicant has been requested to provide services that qualify for the program. (7) A license, and renewals thereof, shall be issued at no cost. (f) The Board shall promulgate regulations for this program and licensure thereunder.
