PURPOSE: This rule provides information to athletic trainers regarding annual renewal of licensure.

1. (1) A license shall be renewed on or before the expiration of the license by attesting to the completed renewal application and submitting the fee to the board. The license fee shall be the appropriate fee established by the board.
2. (2) The board shall mail an application for renewal to each person licensed in this state at the last known mailing address. The failure to mail the application or the failure to receive it does not, however, relieve any person of the duty to renew and to pay the fee required nor provide exemption from the penalties provided for failure to renew.
3. (3) All licensees shall renew with the board on the application form furnished by the board before January 30 of the year in which such license is due for renewal.
4. (4) Renewal application forms postmarked by the post office January 31 or after will be considered delinquent, however, should January 30 fall on a Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday, renewal forms postmarked by the post office on the next business day will not be considered delinquent.
5. (5) Any person practicing as an athletic trainer without a current license shall be subject to discipline under section 334.715, RSMo.
