OAR 855-115-0050: Licensure: Voluntary Surrender

A Pharmacist may request that the board accept the voluntary surrender of their license. (1) A voluntary surrender of a license is discipline. (2) The license remains in effect until the board accepts the surrender. (3) If the board accepts a request for voluntary surrender, the board will issue a final order terminating the license, signed by the licensee and a board representative. The termination date is the date the order is signed by all parties and served on the licensee. (4) The licensee must cease practicing pharmacy from the date the license terminates. (5) A voluntarily surrendered license cannot be renewed. A former licensee who wants to obtain a license must apply for reinstatement per OAR 855-115-0035 unless the final order prohibits the licensee from doing so. (6) The board has jurisdiction to proceed with any investigation or any action or disciplinary proceeding against the licensee.
