PURPOSE: This rule describes the conditions and procedures for renewing a license that has expired. (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. (5) of which must be in patient care-related offerings, as defined in 19 CSR 73- 2.031(2)(A)–(F), must also be submitted with the license renewal application. Information provided in the application shall be given under oath.
3. (3) The licensee shall also supply the board with a notarized statement indicating employment status from the point the license expired through the filing of the application for late renewal. The licensee shall include in the notarized statement written reasons as to why the license was not renewed prior to the expiration date of June 30.
4. (4) The twenty (20) clock hours of boardapproved continuing education must be obtained as described in 19 CSR 73- 2.050(3)(A) and may include clock hours as outlined in 19 CSR 73-2.050(3)(B)1.–4.
