Each person licensed as a veterinarian shall, on or before September 30 of each
even-numbered year, pay to the board a renewal fee to be promulgated by
administrative regulation of the board for the renewal of his license. All licenses not
renewed by September 30 of each even-numbered year shall expire based on the
failure of the individual to renew in a timely manner.
A sixty (60) day grace period shall be allowed after September 30, as required for
renewal in subsection (1) of this section, during which time individuals may renew
their licenses upon payment of the renewal fee plus a late renewal fee as
promulgated by administrative regulation of the board. All licenses not renewed by
November 30 shall terminate based on the failure of the individual to renew in a
timely manner. Upon termination, the licensee is no longer eligible to practice in the
Commonwealth.
After the sixty (60) day grace period, individuals with a terminated license may
have their licenses reinstated upon payment of the renewal fee plus a reinstatement
fee as promulgated by administrative regulation of the board. No person who
applies for reinstatement after termination of his license shall be required to submit
to any examination as a condition for reinstatement, if reinstatement application is
made within five (5) years from the date of termination.
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 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 reinstatement fee as set forth in subsection
(3) of this section and the renewal fee as set forth in subsection (1) of this section.
A person who fails to reinstate his license within five (5) years after 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 may 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 regulation.
The board may grant retired or inactive licensure status and may establish
conditions under which retired or inactive licenses may be renewed as set forth by
administrative regulations promulgated by the board.
