1. A. Until June 30, 2004, no license shall be issued for longer than one (1) year and all licenses shall expire on June 30 of each year. A license may be renewed upon application and payment of fees thirty (30) days preceding or following June 30 of each year, or the date the license is due, and not be subject to a late-renewal penalty. Beginning July 1, 2004, all licenses shall expire on the birthdate of the licensee. The Construction Industries Board shall establish by rule a method for prorating license fees to coincide with the birthdate of the licensee. Licenses which have not been renewed more than thirty (30) days following the date of expiration may be renewed upon application and payment of all required fees and payment of any penalty for late renewal established by the Board and upon compliance with any applicable continuing education requirements established by the Board and this act. No penalty for late renewal shall be charged to any holder of a license which expires while the holder is in military service, if an application for renewal is made within one (1) year following the service discharge of the holder.
2. B. No journeyman or contractor license shall be renewed unless the licensee has completed the required hours of continuing education, as determined and approved by the Committee of Electrical Examiners and approved by the Construction Industries Board. The requirement may be satisfied by completing a course on the current national electrical code revision of not less than six (6) hours of instruction, within one (1) year of adoption of the current national electrical code revision.
3. C. An apprentice registration certificate shall be issued for one (1) year, at which time the apprentice may reregister upon meeting the requirements of the Construction Industries Board and paying the renewal fee.
