62-4-131. Renewal of manicurist and shampooer licenses.

(a)  Any person holding a valid manicurist and shampooer license on August 1, 1987, shall be entitled to renew the license, so long as a complete renewal application with all appropriate fees is filed with the board no later than September 30 immediately following the license expiration date. If the application is mailed, the postmark of the United States postal service shall be considered the filing date.

(b)  Any application for renewal of a manicurist and shampooer license that is filed with the board after September 30 of the year in which the license expires shall be denied. The board shall not reinstate a former manicurist and shampooer licensee who fails to comply with subsection (a).

(c)  The board may, in its discretion, issue a manicurist license to a former manicurist and shampooer licensee upon proper application accompanied by all past unpaid renewal fees, the fee for the current license period and a surcharge as set by the board. If the application is made in the same fiscal year as the board denies the applicant's manicurist and shampooer renewal application, the fees submitted with the denied application shall be credited toward the amount due for a manicurist license under this subsection (c). The board shall not issue a manicurist license to an applicant whose manicurist and shampooer license has lapsed for three (3) years or longer unless the applicant passes a practical and state law examination.
