If the Board suspends or revokes a person's certificate of registration as a result of disciplinary action, the person may not reinstate the certificate of registration or obtain a new certificate of registration unless the person:
  (1) demonstrates that he/she has taken reasonable steps to correct the misconduct or deficiency that led to the suspension or revocation;
  (2) demonstrates that reinstatement or issuance of the certificate of registration is not inconsistent with the Board's duty to protect the public by ensuring that Registrants are duly qualified and fit for registration; and
  (3) pays all fees and costs incurred by the Board as a result of any proceeding that led to the suspension or revocation. This shall include, but not be limited to, attorney's fees and all costs associated with the need to prosecute a Contested Case proceeding at the State Office of Administrative Hearings and subsequent activities including administrative and judicial appeals.
