Would I have to take CLE hours to regain my active status from inactive?

If you were active for any part of the previous compliance period, then within one month of activating your membership, you must complete the CLE hours for the previous compliance period.

You will need to complete the full CLE requirement for the current compliance period by the compliance period deadline. Be sure to consider this when you are activating at the end of a compliance period. The compliance period deadline is always Dec. 31 of every odd year.
