Section 40-69-250. Renewal and reinstatement; duplicate license; display of license; notification of change of name or address.

(A) A license issued pursuant to this chapter is valid for a period of time not to exceed two years. The license may be renewed in accordance with procedures promulgated by the board through regulation upon the payment of a renewal fee and upon fulfillment of continuing education, as required by the board through regulation. Failure to pay the renewal fee, including any late fees, before the first day of February of the renewal year renders the license void.

(B) A licensee who allows the license to lapse by failing to renew the license in accordance with this section may be reinstated by the board upon payment of renewal fees and satisfaction of continuing education requirements, if required, by the board through regulation. The board may assess a reinstatement fee and impose additional requirements for reinstatement as may be established by regulation.

(C) The board also may issue a duplicate license to replace one that has been lost or destroyed upon payment of a fee established in regulation. A duplicate license must have the word "Duplicate" typed or printed across the face of the license.

(D) A person licensed pursuant to this chapter must display the license in a prominent and conspicuous place in the person's primary place of practice.

(E) A licensee shall notify the board in writing of a change in name or mailing address within thirty days and, when requesting a name change on a license, shall submit legal documentation indicating the name change.
