The initial license for a master or journeyman plumber shall expire on the last day
of the licensee's birth month in the following year. The department may reduce the
license fee on a pro rata basis for initial licenses issued for less than twelve (12)
months. Renewed licenses shall expire on the last day of the licensee's birth month
of each year after the date of issuance of the renewed license.
The department shall require an applicant for renewal of a license to show evidence
of completing the continuing education requirements set forth by the department,
with advice from the State Plumbing Code Committee, in its administrative
regulations issued under KRS 318.130.
The department shall send each licensed master and journeyman plumber a notice
advising them that the annual license renewal fee is due. The notice shall be sent to
the licensee's last known address no later than thirty (30) days prior to the expiration
of the license. The annual license renewal fee shall be a reasonable fee set by
regulation of the department. The fee for the renewal of a master plumber's license
shall exceed the fee charged for a journeyman plumber's license.
Any master or journeyman plumber who fails to renew his license prior to
expiration may have his license renewed upon payment of the required renewal fee,
a revival fee, and upon showing the completion of continuing education
requirements. The revival fee for a master plumber shall be five dollars ($5) and for
a journeyman plumber three dollars ($3). If the renewal and revival fees are not paid
one hundred eighty (180) days after the license expires, such licenses shall be
automatically canceled by operation of law for nonpayment; provided, however,
that such licenses may be reinstated upon payment of all delinquent renewal fees
plus a revival fee of ten dollars ($10) for a master plumber and six dollars ($6) for a
journeyman plumber. Upon presentation of proper evidence, the department may
waive payment of any renewal or revival fee specified herein for persons serving on
active duty in the Armed Forces of the United States.
