What must an inactive or delinquent licensee pay before a license can be reactivated?

In Florida, for a physical therapist assistant (PTA) to reactivate an inactive or delinquent license, the licensee is required to pay both the biennial renewal or delinquency fee, as well as a specific reactivation fee. This requirement ensures that the licensee is up to date with their obligations regarding ongoing education and compliance with the state's licensing standards.

The reactivation fee represents the cost associated with processing the request to reinstate the license's active status, while the biennial renewal or delinquency fee pertains to the requirement that licenses must be renewed regularly, which includes penalties for licenses that have lapsed.

Meeting both of these financial obligations is essential to ensure that the licensee is compliant with Florida's laws governing physical therapy practice, thus allowing them to resume their professional activities legally and ethically.
