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 ($150).
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.
