Ethics & California LawQuestion 324 of 484
A licensed cosmetologist plans to take three years off to raise her child and does not want to pay full renewal fees. Under BPC §7321 her best option is to:
a.Keep practicing on family members during the break
b.Elect inactive status at renewal so the license remains valid but she may not legally provide services until she reactivates
c.Send a letter asking the BBC to pause the license without any fee
d.Let the license expire and apply again from scratch later
Explanation
BPC §7321 lets a licensee elect inactive status at the two-year renewal. The license stays on record and can later be reactivated by paying the active renewal fee and meeting any reactivation requirements, but services to the public are not permitted while inactive.
