A. Licenses issued under this chapter expire two years from the last day of the month in which the license was issued as indicated on the license.
B. The board will send a renewal notice to the licensee at the address on file with the board outlining the fee and procedures for license renewal. Failure to receive notice from the department does not relieve the licensee from the requirement to renew the license.
C. The date the required fee is received by the department or the department's agent will be used to determine whether a penalty fee or the requirement for reinstatement of a license is applicable.
D. As a condition of renewal or reinstatement, all individuals holding a license must satisfactorily complete six hours of continuing education from a provider approved by the board in accordance with the provisions of this chapter, except that no continuing education is required for the first renewal after the issuance of the initial license to an individual.
