(1) have held a valid teacher certificate issued under AS 14.20.020 that expired more than 12 months before the teacher applied for a certificate under this section;
(2) have paid the fee required by the department under AS 14.20.020(c).

If the teacher does not pass the examination, the department shall immediately revoke the revocable teacher certificate.
(d) A teacher holding a revocable teacher certificate under this section may not receive a teacher certificate issued under AS 14.20.020 until the teacher submits fingerprints to the department to be used for a criminal history background check and the teacher has been found by the department to be suitable for employment as a teacher under AS 14.20.020(f).
