(1) year after the suspension upon payment of the renewal fee plus a late fee and proof of continuing education satisfactory to the board.

C. The license shall be revoked if the license has not renewed within one

(1) year of the suspension for failure to renew. Any licensee whose license is revoked for failure to renew shall be required to make a new application and shall satisfy all requirements for licensure in effect at the time the application is filed.

(1) engage in the practice of psychology;

(2) use the title or represent himself as a psychologist or psychologist associate; or

(3) use any other title, abbreviation, letters, signs or devices that indicate the person is a psychologist or psychologists associate.

E. It is a misdemeanor:

(1) for any person not licensed under the act to practice psychology or represent himself as a psychologist or a psychologist associate;

(2) for any person to practice psychology during the time that his license as a psychologist or psychologist associate is suspended, revoked, or lapsed.
