Which of the following fees may the board prescribe for inactive status?

The board has the authority to prescribe specific fees associated with the application process for inactive status in the licensing framework for physical therapist assistants. This includes an application fee that is applicable when a licensed professional seeks to change their status to inactive.

Selecting this option reflects an understanding that the board regulates the fees for maintaining licensing statuses, and this is distinct from fees that are related to the licensing exam or temporary permits, which are typically associated with initial licensure and are not relevant to a professional who is already licensed and merely choosing to maintain an inactive status.

The other options pertain to fees that are generally related to active licensure processes, such as taking the licensing exam or obtaining a temporary permit, which are not relevant to those who opt for inactive status. Therefore, the only fee that the board can establish for individuals in inactive status is specifically the application fee related to maintaining that status.
