What happens if a PT license is not renewed within the grace period?

The license is automatically considered active
The license becomes suspended
The license can be renewed without penalties
The applicant must submit a completely new application

The correct answer is: The license becomes suspended

When a physical therapy license is not renewed within the designated grace period, it results in the license being considered suspended. This means that the physical therapist is no longer legally permitted to practice until the license is reinstated. The grace period allows a limited additional time to renew a license without penalties; however, once it expires, the license status changes, and the individual must address this to regain the ability to practice. The option regarding automatic activation is incorrect because without renewal, the license does not remain active. Similarly, while some situations may allow for straightforward renewals or late fees, the ability to renew without penalties doesn't apply here. Finally, having to submit a completely new application is not necessarily accurate immediately after suspension; the process often allows for reinstatement under specific conditions which may or may not require a new application, depending on state regulations. Thus, the situation clarifies the consequences of failing to renew within the allowed timeframe.
