A renewal certificate shall be issued by the Secretary to any person who is recommended for recertification by the Committee. No person shall be recommended for recertification unless he or she has satisfied the continuing education requirements in accordance with Section 12-40a-11. (b) The Committee shall accept for consideration each complete application for recertification. Such applications shall be deemed complete if the applicant submits all necessary supporting documentation and pays a recertification application fee of fifteen dollars.

In no event shall the recertification application fee exceed thirty dollars. (c) The Committee shall consider each complete application for recertification at the next regularly scheduled meeting following the date on which such application is received. The Committee shall recommend to the Secretary that he or she issue a renewal certificate to each applicant who satisfies the continuing education requirements as set forth in Section 12-40a-11. Upon receipt of such recommendation, the Secretary shall promptly issue a new certificate in such applicant's name.

Any such request, which shall include the reason(s) why the appellant believes he or she should be recommended for recertification, shall be sent by courier service to the Committee chair within seven days of the date of the notice of denial. The Committee shall reconsider its decision at the next regularly scheduled meeting following receipt of such request, or at a special meeting called for said purpose. (f) The Committee may require the appellant to appear at such meeting to answer any pertinent questions or to supply any additional information that may be required, provided he or she shall be given not less than forty-eight hours notice of the requirement to appear. The Committee's decision with regard to any such reconsideration shall be final.
