1. (1) Registrations must be renewed every year on the practitioner's birthday as provided in chapter 246-12 WAC, Part 2.

Notice of any adjustment in the required payment will be provided to practitioners. The adjustment in the required payment shall remain in place for the duration of a renewal cycle to assure practitioners an equal benefit from the adjustment.
