Licensure issued under KRS 335.330 shall be renewed annually upon payment of a
fee to be established by administrative regulation promulgated by the board not to
exceed one hundred fifty dollars (0).
On January 1, 1999, all persons authorized to use the title "certified marriage and
family therapist" shall be deemed "licensed marriage and family therapists" until the
date of their second annual license renewal. As of that date, each formerly certified
licensee seeking license renewal shall provide the board with verification of
education or experience relating to psychopathology, as determined by
administrative regulations promulgated by the board, to include:
(a) Coursework in psychopathology;
(b) Supervised experience with a focus on diagnosis; or
(c) Completion of equivalent continuing education units relating to
psychopathology.
This subsection shall not apply to license renewals for those persons also licensed
or certified by another mental health profession which authorizes diagnosis within
its scope of practice.
A ninety (90) day grace period shall be granted during which time licensees may
continue to practice and may renew their licenses upon payment of the renewal fee
plus a late renewal fee as promulgated by administrative regulation of the board.
Any license not renewed during this period shall expire. The board may reinstate an
expired license within three (3) years of its expiration date upon payment of the
renewal fee and satisfaction of other requirements.
A suspended license is subject to expiration and termination and shall be renewed
as provided in this chapter. Renewal shall not entitle the licensee to engage in the
practice of marriage and family therapy until the suspension has ended, or is
otherwise removed by the board and the right to practice is restored by the board.
A revoked license is subject to expiration or termination but may not be renewed. If
it is reinstated, the licensee shall pay the renewal fee as set forth in subsection (1) of
this section.
A person who fails to reinstate his or her license within three (3) years of its
termination may not have it renewed, restored, reissued, or reinstated. A person may
apply for and obtain a new license by meeting the current requirements of this
chapter.
The board shall require that a person applying for renewal or reinstatement of
licensure show evidence of completion of continuing education as prescribed by the
board by administrative regulations, not to exceed twenty (20) clock hours per
renewal period.
