Section 4.03. Failure to be registered.

 

(1)  A licensee who fails for whatever reason to be registered as required under this chapter shall not exercise the rights or privileges conferred by any license granted by the board.

(2)  Failure to renew a license by November 1 of an even-numbered year shall cause the license to lapse. A licensee who allows the license to lapse may apply to the board for reinstatement of the license as follows:

(a) If the licensee applies for renewal of the license less than 5 years after its expiration, the license shall be renewed upon payment of the renewal fee and fulfillment of the continuing education requirements.

(b) If the licensee applies for renewal of the license more than 5 years after its expiration, the board shall make an inquiry to determine whether the applicant is competent to practice under the license in this state, and shall impose any reasonable conditions on the renewal of the license, including oral examination, as the board deems appropriate. All applicants under this paragraph shall be required to pass the open book examination on statutes and rules, which is the same examination given to initial applicants. This section does not apply to licensees who have unmet disciplinary requirements or whose licenses have been surrendered or revoked.
