If an applicant has been inactive for more than one year, what may the board require?

When an applicant has been inactive for more than one year, the board may require them to sit for and pass the examination again to ensure that they are current with the latest regulations, standards, and practices relevant to their fiduciary duties. This requirement reflects the need for fiduciaries to maintain their professional knowledge, as laws and best practices can evolve significantly over time. By requiring the examination to be retaken, the board ensures that the applicant is adequately prepared to perform their duties competently and in accordance with any changes in the field.

This approach prioritizes public safety and trust, ensuring that those in fiduciary roles are up to date with current expectations and skills necessary to serve effectively in their capacity. Retaking the examination serves as a way to validate an applicant's readiness to re-enter the profession after a period of inactivity.
