Does the holder of an inactive license need to pay biennial renewal fees?

The holder of an inactive license is required to pay the biennial renewal fees. This is because maintaining an inactive status still incurs responsibilities similar to an active license, including the obligation to keep the license in good standing.

Even though the license may not be in active use, the regulatory framework mandates that inactive license holders continue to fulfill certain financial obligations to ensure that the licensing system remains sustainable and that record-keeping is appropriately maintained. This requirement ensures that those who are licensed, regardless of their activity status, contribute to the regulatory body's operational costs.

In this context, holders of inactive licenses are expected to understand these responsibilities to avoid potential issues with licensure when considering reactivation in the future.
