§ 2676. License; renewal; reinstatement

(a) A license issued under this chapter shall be valid for a period of two years. A person may renew the license biennially by payment of the renewal fee to the office.

(b) Any person whose license expired, provided the period of expiration has been less than five years, may reinstate that license by paying the renewal fee plus the late renewal penalty.

(c) A license which has expired because a licensee has not sought renewal may be reinstated on payment of a renewal fee and a late renewal penalty. The licensee shall not be required to pay renewal fees during periods when the license was expired. However, if a license remains expired for a period of four years, the director may require reexamination of the licensee, as well as payment of a renewal fee, late renewal penalty, and reinstatement fee.

(d) Licenses which have lapsed for more than five years may be reinstated by:

(1)(A) demonstrating more than 1,000 hours' licensed practice in another state over the preceding two years; or

(B) successfully completing the national licensing examination within one year prior to applying for reinstatement; and

(2) paying of the renewal fee and late renewal penalty. (Added 1973, No. 174 (Adj. Sess.), § 4; amended 1975, No. 111, § 4; 1983, No. 233 (Adj. Sess.), § 2; 1989, No. 250 (Adj. Sess.), § 63; 2005, No. 27, § 80; 2005, No. 148 (Adj. Sess.), § 31.)
