License Renewal

PURPOSE: This rule outlines the process for renewing a practitioner’s license and/or an establishment license. (1) All practitioner and establishment licenses shall be renewed biennially. All licenses shall be renewed in odd numbered years and shall expire on June 30 as defined in 20 CSR 2231-2.010. Failure of a practitioner or the holder of an establishment license to renew the license shall cause the license to expire. A practitioner who continues to practice or a holder of an establishment license who continues to operate without a valid license shall be deemed to be practicing in violation of sections 324.520 to 324.526, RSMo. (2) Failure to receive notice shall not relieve the licensee or the holder of an establishment license of the obligation to renew and pay the required fee prior to the expiration date. (3) Each practitioner or holder of an establishment license shall provide the division with a completed and signed renewal form containing updated information since the preceding application/renewal period, as well as the required fee for renewal. (4) Renewals shall be postmarked no later than the expiration date of the license. (5) Deposit of a licensee’s or operator’s renewal fee by the division does not constitute acceptance of the renewal application. Any practitioner or holder of an establishment license who fails to renew the license by the expiration date shall not perform any act for which a license is required. (6) A holder of an establishment license who fails to renew said license by the expiration date will cause the license to expire. Within two (2) years of the expiration date, the owner/ operator may submit payment of the renewal fee, provide a completed renewal form as provided by the division, and a statement regarding whether the establishment has been operating since the date of expiration. No original application for licensure is required if renewing within two (2) years of the license expiring. AUTHORITY: section 324.522, RSMo 2016.* This rule originally filed as 4 CSR 267-2.030.
