Section 4.06. Renewal of a lapsed license.

  Failure to renew a license by September 30 of odd-numbered years shall cause the license to lapse. A licensee who allows the license to lapse may apply to the board for renewal of the license as follows:

(1)  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 40 continuing education hours completed within 2 years prior to renewal.

(2)  If the licensee applies for renewal of the license more than 5 years after its expiration, the board shall make an inquiry as it finds necessary to determine whether the applicant is competent to practice as a psychologist or private practice school psychologist in this state, and shall impose any reasonable conditions on renewal of the license that the board considers appropriate. An applicant under this subsection is presumed to be competent to practice as a psychologist or private practice school psychologist in this state if at the time of application the applicant is licensed by a similar examining board of another state or territory of the United States or of a foreign country or province whose standards, in the opinion of the board, are equivalent to or higher than the requirements for licensure as a psychologist under s. 455.04 (1) , Stats., or as a private practice school psychologist under s. 455.04 (4) , Stats. The examining board shall require each applicant under this subsection to have completed at least 40 hours of continuing education in the biennium preceding the application for renewal and to pass the appropriate examination specified under s. 455.045 (1) (b) or (2) (b) , Stats.
