What is the maximum period a pharmacist's license can remain in inactive status?

A pharmacist's license in Arkansas can remain in inactive status for a maximum period of two years. After this two-year period, if the pharmacist does not reactivate their license, it may be subject to expiration or cancellation, requiring them to meet additional requirements to reinstate it.

This regulation ensures that pharmacists maintain their qualifications and knowledge up-to-date, thereby protecting public health and safety. While options indicating shorter or longer periods may seem potentially reasonable, Arkansas law specifically delineates this two-year limit to provide clarity on licensure management and expectations for ceasing active practice.
