D.C. Mun. Regs. tit. 17, r. 17-1907
This section shall apply to all applicants for the renewal or reinstatement of a license to practice landscape architecture, except those applicants seeking first renewal of a license granted by examination or certification.
An applicant for renewal of a license shall have completed twenty-four (24) hours of credit in approved continuing education programs during the term of the license. At least eighteen (18) of these hours shall be in health, safety, and welfare subjects.
An applicant for reinstatement of an expired license or renewal of an inactive license shall have completed twenty-four (24) hours of credit in approved continuing education programs, and an additional six (6) hours of credit for each year the license was expired or inactive, up to a maximum of thirty-six (36) hours. At least seventy-five percent (75%) of these hours shall be in health, safety, and welfare subjects. To be creditable, courses shall not have been completed more than two (2) years prior to the date of application.
An applicant under this section shall submit with their renewal or reinstatement application an attestation of their having completed the required continuing education credits. The attestation shall include the following information with respect to each program:
A continuing education credit shall be valid only if it is part of a program approved by the Board in accordance with §§ 1908 of this chapter. Licensees are responsible for ensuring that continuing education courses taken to satisfy the Board's renewal or reinstatement requirements are approved by the Board.
An applicant for the renewal of a license who fails to complete the continuing education requirements and provide an attestation as required under this section by or before the expiration date may renew the license within sixty (60) days after expiration by completing the outstanding hours and by paying the required late fee. Any hours obtained after licensure expiration and claimed for late renewal shall not be creditable for the next renewal period. Upon renewal, the Board shall deem the applicant to have possessed a valid license during the period between the expiration of the license and its renewal.
If an applicant for the renewal of a license fails to complete the continuing education requirements and provide an attestation as required under this section within sixty (60) days after the expiration of the applicant's license, the license shall be deemed to have lapsed on the date of expiration, and the applicant shall be required to apply for reinstatement of the expired license pursuant to §§ 3308 of this title.
The Board may grant an extension of the sixty (60) day period to renew after expiration if the applicant's failure to complete continuing education requirements was for good cause. For purposes of this subsection, good cause includes proof of the following during the term of the license:
An extension granted under this section shall not relieve an applicant from complying with the continuing education requirements for the next renewal period.
