1. (1) Licenses not renewed on or before the renewal date become non-current and subject to the provisions of section 327.351, RSMo. No person is entitled to practice as a professional land surveyor unless he/she holds a current and active license.

2. (2) In order to renew a license, the licensee must:

   1. (A) Submit a completed renewal application form furnished by the board; and
