A licensee who practices in an inactive status for what length of time will be guilty of a felony?

6 months
9 months
12 months
15 months

The correct answer is: 12 months

A licensee is considered to be practicing in an inactive status when they are not engaging in any physical therapy services but still hold a license. In Florida, if a physical therapist remains in this inactive status for a full year, they can face serious legal consequences, including being charged with a felony. This rule serves to ensure that healthcare professionals maintain their skills and knowledge, as prolonged inactivity can lead to diminished competence in practice. Therefore, the timeframe of 12 months is significant, aligning with the state's regulations aimed at protecting public health and ensuring that practitioners are adequately qualified when they return to active practice. The other timeframes listed do not carry the same legal implications in the context of inactive practice status.
