Title 24 - Professions and Occupations
CHAPTER 39. BOARD OF CLINICAL SOCIAL WORK EXAMINERS
§ 3911. Issuance of license; renewal; inactive status; reinstatement.

(a) The Board shall issue a license to each applicant who meets the requirements of this chapter for licensure as a clinical social worker and who pays the fee established under § 3910 of this title.

(b) Each license shall be renewed biennially, in such a manner as is determined by the Division of Professional Regulation, and upon payment of the appropriate fee and submission of a renewal form provided by the Division of Professional Regulation, and proof that the licensee has met the continuing education requirements established by the Board. The license will expire on January 1 of the renewal year. A late fee shall be set by the Division of Professional Regulation. If a practitioner fails to renew the license in 1 year from the renewal date, the practitioner must re-apply for licensure.

(c) Any licensee, upon written request, may be placed in an inactive status for up to 1 year. The Board may extend the inactive status for additional 1 year periods upon written request of the licensee. The renewal fee of a licensee on inactive status will be prorated in accordance with the amount of time a person is on inactive status. The licensee may re-enter practice after written notification to the Board of the licensee's intent to do so and after satisfying all the continuing education requirements and paying the appropriate renewal fee.

(d) A former licensee, whose license has been revoked, and who subsequently is permitted to apply for reinstatement, shall apply for a new license, and shall successfully complete the national clinical examination and shall pay all appropriate fees.
