65-5909. Renewal of license; requirements; procedure; reinstatement of lapsed license. (a) Licenses may be renewed upon payment of the required renewal fee and successful completion of not more than 15 hours of continuing education during the licensure period as specified by the secretary by rules and regulations.

(b) At least 30 days before the expiration of the license, the secretary shall notify the licensee of the expiration by mail addressed to the licensee's last place of residence as noted upon the office records. If the licensee fails to submit an application and fee by the date of expiration of the license, the licensee shall be given a second notice that the license has expired and the license may only be renewed if the application, renewal fee and late renewal fee are received by the secretary within the thirty-day period following the date of expiration and, if the application and both fees are not received within the thirty-day period, the license shall be considered to have lapsed for failure to renew and shall be reissued only after the applicant has been reinstated under subsection (c).

(c) Any licensee who allows the licensee's license to lapse by failing to renew as herein provided may be reinstated upon payment of the renewal fee and the reinstatement fee and upon submitting evidence of satisfactory completion of any applicable continuing education requirements established by the secretary for reinstatement of persons whose licenses have lapsed for failure to renew. The secretary shall adopt rules and regulations establishing appropriate continuing education requirements for reinstatement of persons whose licenses have lapsed for failure to renew.
