(1) The board shall not renew, reinstate, or reactivate the certification of a pharmacy technician that was issued pursuant to section 12-280-115.5 (2) until the pharmacy technician presents evidence that the pharmacy technician maintains active certification with a certifying organization. Subject to subsection (2) of this section, the evidence may be provided by an attestation on the certification renewal application. (2) The board may annually audit up to five percent of the pharmacy technicians certified and residing in Colorado to determine compliance with this section. (3) If a pharmacy technician fails to complete the continuing education and renewal requirements of, and maintain active certification with, a certifying organization, the pharmacy technician's state certification becomes inactive. An inactive certificant is not required to comply with any continuing pharmacy technician education requirement so long as the certificant remains inactive, but the certificant must continue to pay applicable fees, including renewal fees. The board shall note "inactive status" on the face of any certification it issues to a certificant while the certificant remains inactive. Before an inactive pharmacy technician resumes practice as a pharmacy technician after being placed on an inactive list, the pharmacy technician must file an application to activate the certification, pay the certification renewal fee, and meet the continuing education requirements of this section. If a pharmacy technician engages in practice as a pharmacy technician while on inactive status, that conduct is grounds for certification revocation under this article 280.
