Failure to receive notice for renewal of a license or certificate from the Board does not excuse a certified or licensed addiction counselor from the requirement for renewal under the Act and this Rule.
Certified and licensed addiction counselors shall have a sixty-day grace period after the expiration of his or her license or certificate to renew such license or certificate without the imposition of a disciplinary sanction for practicing on an expired license or certificate. During this grace period a delinquency fee will be charged for late renewals. A certified or licensed addiction counselor who does not renew his or her license or certificate within the sixty-day grace period shall be treated as having an expired license or certificate and shall be ineligible to practice until such a license or certificate is reinstated.
Pursuant to section 12-245-806, C.R.S., and Rule 1.19 , licensed addiction counselors and certified addiction counselors demonstrate continuing professional competence in order to renew.
Addiction counselors may be exempt from licensing requirements as provided in section 12-20-302, C.R.S.
