If a license is revoked, how long is the revocation effective?

In the context of licensing, when a license is revoked, it indicates that the individual's right to practice has been terminated due to serious infractions or violations of regulations. The standard duration for a license revocation in many jurisdictions, including Kentucky, is typically five years. This means that the individual is barred from applying for reinstatement or renewing their license for that entire period. After the five-year term, they may have the ability to apply for reinstatement, subject to additional criteria or requirements set forth by the licensing board. This policy serves as a deterrent against misconduct and underscores the importance of maintaining ethical and professional standards within the profession.
