If a chiropractor's active license has expired, what must they do?

Continue practicing until notified
Seek an extension
Cease practicing immediately
Transfer their license to another state

The correct answer is: Cease practicing immediately

When a chiropractor's active license has expired, it is required that they cease practicing immediately. Continuing to practice without an active license is a violation of state law and regulations governing chiropractic care. This is critical to protect public safety and ensure that only licensed professionals are providing care. Practicing without a current license can lead to serious legal consequences, including penalties, fines, and potential criminal charges. This requirement is in place to uphold the standards of the profession and ensure that all practitioners are maintaining their qualifications, including education and continuing education requirements, which may have been mandated by the licensing board. Therefore, upon expiration of their license, the correct course of action is to stop practicing until the license is renewed or reinstated. Seeking an extension, transferring the license to another state, or continuing to practice until notified are not permissible actions and could jeopardize both the chiropractor's career and the safety of their patients.
