If a pharmacist does not renew their license, how long do they have to restore it?

In Hawaii, if a pharmacist fails to renew their license, they can reinstate it within a three-year period. This timeframe allows the pharmacist to fulfill any requirements that may have arisen during the lapse, such as completing continuing education credits or upholding any legal stipulations relevant to their practice. After this three-year window, the pharmacist would likely need to reapply for a new license instead of reinstating the expired one, which could involve additional requirements such as retaking examinations or meeting current eligibility criteria for licensure. Therefore, understanding the three-year limit is crucial for pharmacists to maintain the continuity of their professional practice.
