Renewal Schedule

Renewal Schedule. The license of every person licensed to practice as a radiologist assistant in the state of Mississippi shall be renewed annually. On or before May 1 of each year, the State Board of Medical Licensure shall notify every radiologist assistant to whom a license was issued or renewed during the current licensing year the process of licensure renewal. The notice shall provide instructions for obtaining and submitting applications for renewal. The applicant shall obtain and complete the application and submit it to the Board in the manner prescribed by the Board in the notice before June 30 with the renewal fee of an amount established by the Board. The payment of the annual license renewal fee shall be optional with all radiologist assistants over the age of seventy (70) years. Upon receipt of the application and fee, the Board shall verify the accuracy of the application and issue to applicant a certificate of renewal for the ensuing year, beginning July 1 and expiring June 30 of the succeeding calendar year. Such renewal shall render the holder thereof a licensed radiologist assistant as stated on the renewal form. A radiologist assistant practicing in Mississippi who allows his or her license to lapse by failing to renew the license as provided in this rule may be reinstated by the Board upon completion of a reinstatement form and payment of the renewal fee for the current year, and shall be assessed a fine of Twenty-five Dollars ($25.00) plus an additional fine of Five Dollars ($5.00) for each month thereafter that the license renewal remains delinquent. Any radiologist assistant not practicing in Mississippi who allows his or her license to lapse by failing to renew the license as provided in this rule may be reinstated by the Board upon completion of a reinstatement form and payment of the arrearage for the previous five (5) years and the renewal fee for the current year. Any radiologist assistant who allows his or her license to lapse shall be notified by the Board within thirty (30) days of such lapse. Any person practicing as a radiologist assistant during the time his or her license has lapsed shall be considered an illegal practitioner and shall be subject to the same penalties as provided at Mississippi Code, Section 73-25-14.
