      RELATES TO: KRS 216A.090

      STATUTORY AUTHORITY: KRS 216A.070(3)

      NECESSITY, FUNCTION, AND CONFORMITY: KRS 216A.090 requires the holder of a license to renew his license biennially. This administrative regulation establishes the requirements for renewal, late renewal, inactive licensure and reinstatement of a license.

      Section 1. (1) A license shall be renewed every two (2) years from date of issue or from date of last renewal. To apply for renewal, a licensee shall:

      (a) Submit a completed Renewal Form B130-7 to the board; and

      (b) Pay to the board the appropriate renewal fee established in 201 KAR 6:060 for the renewal of his license.

      (2) A sixty (60) day grace period shall be allowed after the renewal date, during which time a licensee may continue to practice and may renew his license upon payment of the late renewal fee established in 201 KAR 6:060.

      (a) A license not renewed by the end of the sixty (60) day grace period shall terminate based on the failure of the licensee to renew in a timely manner.

      (b) Upon termination, the licensee shall not practice in the Commonwealth.

      (3) A license shall be deemed inactive if:

      (a) A licensee submits to the board a written request seeking inactive status;

      (b) A licensee pays to the board the inactive licensee fee established in 201 KAR 6:060 for an inactive license;

      (c) The grace period established in subsection (2) of this section has not expired; and

      (d) The license is in good standing when the inactive status request is received.

      (4)(a) After the sixty (60) day grace period, an individual with a terminated license shall have his license reinstated upon payment of the reinstatement fee established in 201 KAR 6:060.

      (b) A person who applies for reinstatement after termination of his license shall not be required to meet current licensure requirements, except those established in 201 KAR 6:070, Section 10, if reinstatement application is made within two (2) years from the date of termination.

      (5) A licensee who fails to reinstate his license within two (2) years after its termination shall not have it renewed, restored, reissued, or reinstated. A person may apply for and obtain a new license by meeting the current requirements for licensure established in KRS Chapter 216A and 201 KAR Chapter 6.

      (6) A suspended license shall be subject to expiration and termination and shall be renewed as provided in this administrative regulation. Renewal shall not entitle the licensee to engage in the practice until the suspension has ended, or is otherwise removed by the board and the right to practice is restored by the board.

      (7) A revoked license shall be subject to expiration or termination and shall not be renewed. If it is reinstated, the licensee shall pay the reinstatement fee as set forth in subsection (2) of this section and the renewal fee as set forth in subsection (1) of this section.

      (8) A licensee applying for renewal, late renewal, or reinstatement of licensure shall show evidence of completion of continuing education as established by 201 KAR 6:070.
