2. (b) If a license is renewed more than 30 days after its expiration, the licensee, as a condition precedent to renewal, shall also pay the late renewal fee specified in Section 4240.
3. (c) Renewal under this section shall be effective on the date on which the renewal application is filed, on the date on which the renewal fee is paid, or on the date on which the late renewal fee, if any, is paid, whichever last occurs. If so renewed, the license or certificate shall continue in effect through the period established in Section 4222(b) of this article, when it shall expire if it is not renewed.

5. (e) A license that is not renewed within three (3) years after its expiration may not be renewed or reissued thereafter, but the holder of the license may apply for and obtain a new license if the following requirements are satisfied:

   1. (1) No fact, circumstance, or condition exists which would justify denial of licensure under Section 480 of the Code.
   2. (2) The applicant pays all of the fees which would be required of them if they were then applying for the license for the first time and all renewal and late fees that have accrued since the date on which they last renewed their license.

      The Board may impose conditions on any license issued pursuant to this subsection as it deems necessary, including taking and passing the examination.
