Proof of Compliance
A renewal application must include a completed continuing education form as specified by the board outlining professional development hours claimed. The licensee or certificate holder must supply detail on the form to permit audit verification, must sign the continuing education form certifying completion of the requirements, and must submit he form with the renewal application and fee.
The licensee or certificate holder shall maintain a file in which records of courses and activities are kept, including dates, subjects, duration of programs, sponsoring organization, professional development hours earned, registration receipts where appropriate, and other pertinent documentation, for a period of two years after submission to the board.
This information may be required to be produced by licensees or certificate holders. The board may require a licensee or certificate holder to produce this information in connection with verification of a renewal application, a random audit conducted by the board, or upon receipt of a complaint alleging noncompliance on the part of a licensee or certificate holder.
Non-Compliance Penalties
A licensee or certificate holder who does not satisfy the continuing education requirements for licensure or certification renewal shall be placed on probationary status and shall be promptly notified of the fact. The licensee or certificate holder has 180 days after notification to substantiate the original claim or to earn other professional development hours to meet the requirement.
If the deficiencies are not made up within the specified period of time, the individual’s licensure or certification shall be suspended.
An individual who applies for licensure or certification renewal after the biennial renewal period has lapsed and has not satisfied the continuing education requirements shall be notified of that fact. The licensee or certificate holder shall have 180 days after notification to substantiate the original claim or to earn other professional development hours to meet the minimum requirement. If the deficiencies are not made up within the specified period of time, the individual’s licensure or certification shall be suspended.
Exceptions and Exemptions
A licensee or certificate holder is exempt from the continuing education requirements for one of the reasons listed below:
- A new licensee or certificate holder is exempt for the individual's first biennial renewal.
- A licensee or certificate holder who has experienced during the biennial renewal a serious illness, injury, or other extenuating circumstances as reviewed and approved by the board is exempt. Supporting documentation must be furnished to the board prior to the end of the biennial renewal period.
- A licensee or certificate holder is exempt who, for a period of time exceeding 120 consecutive days, serves honorably on active duty in the military services where such activity restricts participation in a continuing education program.
