Each person licensed to practice chiropractic in this state shall, on or before
the first day of March, annually renew his license and pay a renewal fee of not
more than one hundred dollars ($100) for each inactive licensee and not more
than five hundred dollars ($500) for each active licensee each year to the
board. In addition to the payment of the renewal fee, the active licensee
applying for a license renewal shall furnish to the board satisfactory evidence
that he has attended an educational program in the year preceding each
application for renewal. Satisfactory evidence of attendance of postgraduate
study at an institution approved by the board shall be considered equivalent.
Any education shall include completion of the course described in KRS
214.610(1) at least one (1) time every ten (10) years, but the board may in its
discretion require completion of the course more frequently. Provided,
however, that licenses may be renewed by the board, at its discretion, and the
applicant may be excused from paying the renewal fee or attending the annual
educational program, or both, in instances where the applicant submits an
affidavit to the board evidencing that he, for good cause assigned, suffered a
hardship which prevented the applicant from renewing the license or attending
the educational program at the proper time.
The board shall send a written notice to every person holding a valid license to
practice chiropractic within this state at least forty-five (45) days prior to the first
day of March in each year, directed to the last known address of the licensee,
and shall enclose with the notice proper blank forms for application for annual
license renewal. The board shall, within forty-five (45) days, notify every person
failing to renew his license after it is due that he is delinquent and is subject to
a late penalty of three hundred dollars ($300). If the licensee fails to renew his
license within forty-five (45) days after the mailing of the delinquent notice then
his license shall be revoked for nonrenewal. Any licensee whose license has
been revoked for failure to renew his license may have his license restored
upon the payment of a restoration fee not to exceed five hundred dollars ($500)
for each delinquent year or any part thereof in addition to the renewal fee of not
more than five hundred dollars ($500) and upon presentation of satisfactory
evidence of postgraduate study of a standard approved by the state board or
upon a showing that he is an exception as provided for in subsection (1) of this
section.
Any licensee whose license has been revoked for less that four (4) years, may
not apply for a license pursuant to KRS 312.085. The licensee may only apply
for restoration pursuant to subsection (2) of this section.
Any licensee whose license has been revoked for more than four (4) years
may apply for a license by examination, as long as the licensee pays a
restoration fee not to exceed five hundred dollars ($500) for each delinquent
year, or any part thereof, in addition to the renewal fee of not less than five
hundred dollars ($500) and not more than three thousand dollars ($3,000).
