Part 1 - General Provisions
§ 12-32-111. Renewal of license

(1) (a) The Colorado podiatry board shall set reasonable continuing education requirements for renewal of license, but in no event shall the board require more than fourteen hours' credit of continuing education per year. A podiatrist desiring to renew his or her license to practice podiatry shall submit to the Colorado podiatry board the information the board believes necessary to show that he or she has fulfilled the board's continuing education requirements and a fee to be determined and collected pursuant to section 24-34-105, C.R.S.

(b) On or before the 2013 podiatrist license renewal cycle, the Colorado podiatry board shall promulgate rules and implement an ongoing professional development program that shall be developed in conjunction with statewide professional associations that represent podiatrists. The professional development program may include the continuing education requirements in paragraph (a) of this subsection (1).

(1.5) The board shall establish a questionnaire to accompany the renewal form. The questionnaire shall be designed to determine if the licensee has acted in violation of, or has been disciplined for actions that might be construed as violations of, this article or that may make the licensee unfit to practice podiatry with reasonable care and safety. The failure of an applicant to answer the questionnaire accurately shall constitute unprofessional conduct pursuant to section 12-32-107.

(2) No license to practice podiatry that has been delinquent for more than two years shall be renewed unless the applicant demonstrates to the Colorado podiatry board his or her continued professional competence.

(3) (Deleted by amendment, L. 2010, (HB 10-1224), ch. 420, p. 2158, § 19, effective July 1, 2010.)

(4) Renewal or reinstatement of a license shall be pursuant to a schedule established by the director of the division of professions and occupations within the department of regulatory agencies, and a license shall be renewed or reinstated pursuant to section 24-34-102 (8), C.R.S. The director may establish renewal fees and delinquency fees for reinstatement pursuant to section 24-34-105, C.R.S. If a person fails to renew his or her license pursuant to the schedule established by the director, the license shall expire. A person whose license has expired shall be subject to the penalties provided in this article or in section 24-34-102 (8), C.R.S. The board shall establish the criteria for reinstatement of a license.
