INACTIVE STATUS WHO APPLIES FOR CERTIFICATION AND MAY NOT
REQUIRE PAYMENT OF A LATE FEE BY THE INDIVIDUAL AS A
CONDITION TO CERTIFICATION AT THAT TIME.

(B) REINSTATEMENT OF EXPIRED CERTIFICATION.

THE BOARD SHALL REINSTATE THE CERTIFICATION OF AN
INDIVIDUAL WHO HAS NOT BEEN PUT ON INACTIVE STATUS AND WHO

INDIVIDUAL:

(1)  MEETS THE RENEWAL REQUIREMENTS OF § 16-309
OF THIS SUBTITLE; AND

(2)  PAYS TO THE BOARD A REINSTATEMENT FEE EQUAL

(I)  THE REGULAR RENEWAL FEE SET BY THE

REVISOR'S NOTE: This section is new language derived
without substantive change from the last clause
of the fourth sentence and the entire fifth and
sixth sentences of Art. 43, § 634(c).

Subsection (a)(l)(i) of this section is new
language added to state expressly that the Board
may require an applicant for inactive status to
use a particular form. This power of the Board
clearly is included in its broad power to adopt
rules and regulations under present Art. 43, §
625 — now § 16-206(a) of this title. It is set
forth in this section for clarity.

16-311. CODE OF ETHICS.

DESIGNED TO PROTECT THE PUBLIC INTEREST.

(B)  REQUIRED CONSIDERATIONS.

IN ADOPTING THE CODE OF ETHICS, THE BOARD SHALL
CONSIDER:

(1)  THE ETHICAL STANDARDS OF PSYCHOLOGISTS
PUBLISHED BY THE AMERICAN PSYCHOLOGICAL ASSOCIATION; AND

(2)  THE PROFESSIONAL CHARACTER OF PSYCHOLOGICAL
SERVICES.
