1. A. Each license to practice podiatric medicine heretofore issued which remains effective under the provisions of this act and each such license issued hereafter pursuant to law shall entitle the licensee, subject to law, to practice podiatric medicine in this state as defined by law and to hold himself out as a licensed podiatric physician, doctor of podiatric medicine or podiatrist from the date of issuance thereof until the following July 1, and as long as lawfully renewed, unless suspended or revoked as authorized by law.
2. B. Upon such application therefor, if any, as the Board of Podiatric Medical Examiners requires from time to time, and upon first satisfying the Board that he is not at the time violating any applicable law or any of the rules of the Board which are applicable to him or the Code of Ethics, and upon the payment in advance to the secretary-treasurer of the Board of the annual renewal fee required by law and the rules of the Board, and upon showing proof of compliance with Section 145.1 of this title, a licensee shall be entitled to have his license to practice podiatric medicine renewed annually on or before July 1 of each year, upon which date such annual renewal fee shall become due and owing.
3. C. A licensed podiatric physician who does not so satisfy the Board and pay the annual renewal fee required by law and the rules of the Board, in the time and manner required thereby, shall cease to be entitled to have such license renewed. If not paid on or before September 30 immediately following July 1, the annual renewal fee shall become delinquent and the license shall be automatically suspended and not entitled to renewal thereafter, though it may be reinstated as provided by law and the rules of the Board. Upon such suspension, all the rights of the licensee by virtue of the license shall be suspended and cease and shall remain suspended unless or until the license is reinstated as authorized by law, and the rules of the Board. The license shall be renewed by the Board upon the payment of the delinquent annual renewal fee, without penalty, between July 1 and September 30 immediately following, if, and only if, the licensee first satisfies the Board that during the then immediately preceding twelve (12) months he did not violate, and that at the time he is not violating, any applicable law or the Code of Ethics or any of the rules of the Board which are applicable to him; and the renewal, if granted by the Board, shall operate to remove the suspension aforesaid. After that September 30 and on or before the close of the next following June 30, and upon such application therefor, if any, as the Board requires, and upon first satisfying the Board that during the then immediately preceding twelve (12) months he did not violate, and at the time is not violating, any applicable law or the Code of Ethics or any of the rules of the Board which are applicable to him, a licensee shall be entitled to have his license to practice podiatric medicine reinstated, upon the payment first of the delinquent annual renewal fee, plus such penalty additional as the Board imposes, not to exceed in all four times the delinquent fee; and the reinstatement shall operate to reinstate the license and remove such suspension. But such a license to practice podiatric medicine not so reinstated in such time shall become void at the close of that June 30; and thereafter it shall not be renewed or reinstated.
4. D. The annual renewal fee shall be such sum as the Board from time to time sets. Upon the timely payment of the annual renewal fee or the reinstatement fee, as the case may be, the secretary-treasurer of the Board shall issue and mail to the licensee such certificate of renewal or reinstatement as the Board shall direct, which when so mailed shall operate to renew or reinstate the license, as the case may be, for the period ending at the close of the immediately following July 1, after which it must be renewed again or be reinstated in the same time and manner to continue effective.
5. E. The secretary-treasurer of the Board shall keep a license record showing each license issued by the Board, the name and last mailing address furnished to said secretary-treasurer by each licensee, the year of issuance of the license, whether by examination or otherwise, the renewals, reinstatements, suspensions and revocations thereof, and the fact as to whether the license be in force or suspended or void. Such record as to any license, or a copy thereof certified to by said secretary-treasurer as complete and true as to the license in question, shall constitute prima facie evidence of the recitals therein and the fact disclosed thereby as to whether the license described is in force or suspended or void.
