Expiration and Renewal

PURPOSE: This rule establishes the dates of certificate and license validity and the obligation of licensees for renewal of the same. (1) Beginning January 1, 2000 every certificate or license issued and every certificate or license renewal shall expire on June 30 in every even-numbered year after the date of issuance. The commission may prorate continuing education and fees in order to put all licensees on this biennial renewal. The commission may mail to each licensee, at least sixty (60) days prior to the expiration date of each renewal year, a notice of the expiration and application for renewal of the certificate or license to the licensee’s address on file with the commission. The commission may issue a new certificate or license for each renewal period upon receipt of a properly completed renewal application, including proof of completion of the continuing education requirements pursuant to this Act and the fee postmarked before midnight, June 30, of each year of expiration. Delinquent renewal applications must be accompanied by a delinquent fee of fifty dollars ($50) per month or partial month elapsed since the expiration date not to exceed six hundred dollars ($600). Any licensee who fails to complete continuing education requirements will not be eligible for certification or license renewal. (2) Failure of a licensee to receive the notice and application to renew from the commission shall not excuse the licensee from the requirements for renewal contained in this rule.
