Each AAHP licensee shall submit a completed renewal application to the board and
pay a renewal fee for the renewal of the license.
A sixty (60) day grace period shall be allowed after the renewal deadline during
which individuals may renew their licenses upon submission of a completed
renewal application and payment of the renewal fee plus a late renewal fee. All
licenses not renewed by the grace period deadline shall expire based on the failure
of the individual to renew in a timely manner. Upon expiration, the licensee is no
longer eligible to practice as an allied animal health professional in the
Commonwealth.
After the sixty (60) day grace period, individuals with an expired license may have
their licenses reinstated upon submission of a completed reinstatement application
and payment of the renewal fee, the renewal late fee, and the reinstatement fee. A
person who applies for reinstatement after expiration of the person's AAHP license
shall not be required to submit to an examination as a condition for reinstatement, if
the reinstatement application is made within five (5) years from the date of
expiration.
A suspended AAHP license is subject to expiration and termination and shall be
renewed as provided in this chapter. Renewal or reinstatement shall not entitle the
licensee to engage in practice as an allied animal health professional until the
suspension has ended or is otherwise resolved 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
a revoked license is reinstated, the licensee shall pay a reinstatement fee.
A person who fails to reinstate his or her AAHP license within five (5) years after
its expiration or termination shall not have it renewed, restored, reissued, or
reinstated and the person may apply for and obtain a new license by meeting the
requirements of this chapter.
The board may require that a person applying for renewal or reinstatement of a
license provide evidence of completion of continuing education as promulgated by
the board in an administrative regulation.
The board may grant retired or inactive license status and may establish conditions
under which retired or inactive licenses may be renewed and reinstated as set forth
by the board in an administrative regulation.
Fees set by the board shall be designed to fully cover the cost to operate the licensee
program but shall not exceed it.
