227A.100 Fees -- Application for renewal or reinstatement of license.
(1) Each licensee licensed under the provisions of KRS 227A.010 to 227A.140 shall
annually, on or before the last day of the licensee's birth month, pay to the <br>department a renewal fee as established in administrative regulations promulgated <br>by the department.
(2) A sixty (60) day grace period shall be allowed after the anniversary date of the
license during which time a licensee may continue to practice and may renew his or <br>her license upon payment of the renewal fee plus a late renewal fee as promulgated <br>by administrative regulation of the department.
(3) A license not renewed before the end of the sixty (60) day grace period shall
terminate based on the failure of the licensee to renew in a timely manner. Upon <br>termination, the licensee is no longer eligible to practice in the Commonwealth.
(4) After the sixty (60) day grace period, a former licensee with a terminated license
may have the license reinstated upon payment of the renewal fee plus a <br>reinstatement fee as promulgated by administrative regulation of the department. An <br>applicant for reinstatement after termination of the license shall not be required to <br>submit to any examination as a condition for reinstatement, if the reinstatement <br>application is made within three (3) years from the date of termination.
(5) A suspended license is subject to expiration and termination and shall be renewed
as provided in this section. Renewal shall not entitle the licensee to engage in the <br>practice until the suspension has ended or is otherwise removed by the department <br>and the right to practice is restored by the department.
(6) A revoked license is subject to expiration or termination but may not be renewed. If
it is reinstated, the former licensee shall pay the reinstatement fee as promulgated by <br>administrative regulations under subsection (4) of this section and the renewal fee <br>as promulgated by administrative regulations under subsection (1) of this section.
(7) The department shall require an applicant for renewal or reinstatement of a license

The department shall promulgate <br>administrative regulations establishing the content of the programs and the <br>qualifications of the providers.
(8) The department shall require, where applicable, that an applicant for renewal or
reinstatement of a license submit proof that the applicant has complied with <br>workers' compensation and unemployment insurance laws and regulations and has <br>obtained a general liability insurance policy of not less than five hundred thousand <br>dollars ($500,000).
