A license issued by the board shall expire on June 30 of even-numbered years
unless sooner suspended or revoked.
To renew a license, an applicant shall:
(a) Pay a renewal fee; and
(b) Meet all other requirements for renewal under this chapter.
If a licensee fails to pay a renewal fee, the license becomes inactive without further
action by the board.
If a person holds an inactive license, the board shall reinstate the license if the
applicant for reinstatement:
(a) Submits a completed renewal application;
(b) Pays the current renewal fee;
(c) Pays a reinstatement fee determined by the board in an administrative
regulation promulgated in accordance with KRS Chapter 13A; and
(d) Provides the board with a sworn statement, signed by the applicant, that he or
she has fulfilled the continuing education requirements prescribed by the
board for the current renewal period.
(a) Except for disciplinary actions taken pursuant to KRS 311.700, a licensee
whose license has been revoked may, after two (2) years from the effective
date of the revocation order, petition the board for a license to again practice
in the Commonwealth of Kentucky.
(b) The board shall not be required to issue a new license as described in this
subsection. No new license shall be issued unless the applicant satisfies the
board that the former licensee is presently of good moral character and
qualified both physically and mentally to resume the practice of genetic
counseling without undue risk or danger to the licensee's patients or the
public.
(c) If the board issues a new license under the circumstances described in this
subsection, the new license shall be under probation for a period of not less
than two (2) years nor more than five (5) years, and any subsequent violation
during the probationary period shall result in automatic revocation of the
license.
To renew a license under this section, an applicant shall complete continuing
education. The continuing education shall consist of the completion in each two (2)
year license cycle of thirty (30) contact hours that have been approved by NSGC.
An applicant seeking renewal of a license shall certify that he or she:
(a) Has complied with the continuing education requirements; or
(b) Has not complied with the continuing education requirements, but is seeking a
waiver from the board under subsection (8) of this section.
The board may grant an applicant seeking renewal of a license a waiver from all or
part of the continuing education requirement for the renewal period if the applicant
was not able to fulfill the requirement due to a hardship that resulted from any of
the following conditions:
(a) Service in the Armed Forces of the United States during a substantial part of
the renewal period;
(b) An incapacitating illness or injury; or
(c) Other circumstances determined by the board.
