PURPOSE: This rule describes the conditions and procedures for renewing a license that has expired.

1. (1) Any licensee who fails to submit the required application, documentation, and/or fee for license renewal prior to expiration of that license on June 30 may be relicensed by meeting the requirements of this regulation provided that the license has not been expired for a period of more than twelve (12) months.
2. (2) The licensee must complete and file a license renewal application referenced in 19 CSR 73-2.050, along with a renewal fee referenced in 19 CSR 73-2.015 for a two- (2-) year license, plus the penalty fee. Satisfactory evidence of board-approved continuing education (as outlined in 19 CSR 73-2.050) must also be submitted with the license renewal application. Information provided in the application must be attested to by signature to be true and correct to the best of the applicant’s knowledge and belief and include an attestation verifying that the licensee has completed the required number of board-approved continuing education clock hours obtained during the current licensure period.
3. (3) The licensee must also supply the board with a statement indicating employment status from the point the license expired through the filing of the application for late renewal. The licensee must include in the statement written reasons why the license was not renewed prior to the expiration date of June 30.
4. (4) The board-approved continuing education must be obtained as described in 19 CSR 73- 2.050.
5. (5) Upon receipt of the required application, documentation, and fee, the board may issue the license effective the date the late renewal is approved by the board.
6. (6) A person whose license has expired for a period of more than twelve (12) months must meet the requirements set out in 19 CSR 73- 2.020, 19 CSR 73-2.022, 19 CSR 73-2.023, or 19 CSR 73-2.025 for licensure.
7. (7) Upon expiration of the license, a licensee cannot act in the capacity of an administrator. To do so is a violation of section 344.020, RSMo, and may be grounds for denial of the late renewal application or be cause for discipline of the license.
