1. (1) Licensure and renewal: All licenses are subject to the provisions of OAR Chapter 331, Division 30 regarding the issuance and renewal of a license, provisions regarding authorization to practice, identification, and requirements for issuance of a duplicate license.

2. (2) License renewal: To avoid late penalties, licenses must be renewed before the license becomes inactive as described in section (3) of this rule. The licensee must:

   1. (a) Submit a renewal application form;
   2. (b) Attest to having obtained the continuing education pursuant to 331-385-0010;
   3. (c) Pass a state criminal background check pursuant to OAR 331-030-0004; and
   4. (d) Pay the renewal fee pursuant to OAR 331-375-0020;

3. (3) Renewal when license is inactive: ORS 676.580 defines an “active authorization” as an authorization that is current and not suspended, and an “inactive authorization” as an authorization that has not been current for three years or less. An inactive license does not authorize its holder to practice art therapy or use the title or designation of Licensed Art Therapist, Licensed Certified Art Therapist or Provisional Licensed Art Therapist. To renew an inactive license, the authorization holder must:

   1. (a) Submit a renewal application form;
   2. (b) Attest to having obtained the continuing education pursuant to OAR 331-385-0010;
