3012.3. "Good Standing" Defined.
The term "good standing" as used in Section 10170.8 of the Code means an active license that has not been suspended,
revoked, or restricted as a result of disciplinary action. A license shall retain good standing if (a) the license was renewed
without expiration, or (b) the license was renewed within a two year late renewal grace period after expiration, without
requalification through an examination. The term of such temporary expiration, prior to renewal within the two year
grace period granted by Section 10201 of the Code, may be included within the years used to calculate the "30
continuous years" specified by Section 10170.8 of the Code.
