Section 65-6909 - Licensure; expiration and renewal; notice; fees; reinstatement of canceled license; rules and regulations; inactive license(a) An applicant who meets the requirements for licensure pursuant to this act, has paid the licensure fee and has otherwise complied with the provisions of this act shall be licensed by the board.(b) Licenses issued pursuant to this act shall expire on the date established by rules and regulations of the board unless revoked prior to that time. A license shall be renewed in the manner prescribed by the board.(c) At least 60 days before the expiration of the license of an athletic trainer, the board shall notify the licensee of the expiration by mail, addressed to the licensee's last mailing address, as noted upon the board's records. If the licensee fails to pay the renewal fee and submit an application at least 30 days prior to the date of expiration of the license, the licensee shall be given a second notice that the licensee's license will expire and the license may be renewed only if an additional renewal fee is received by the board within the 30-day period following the date of expiration and that if both fees are not received by the date of expiration the license shall be canceled for failure to renew and shall be reissued only after the athletic trainer has been reinstated under subsection (d).(d) Any licensee who allows the licensee's license to be canceled by failing to renew as herein provided may be reinstated upon payment of the reinstatement fee, filing an updated practice protocol and upon submitting evidence of satisfactory completion of any applicable continuing education requirements established by the board. The board shall adopt rules and regulations for reinstatement of persons whose licenses have been canceled for failure to renew. Renewal of canceled licenses or reinstatement of licenses may include additional testing, training or education as the board deems necessary to establish the person's present ability to perform the functions or duties of an athletic trainer.(e) There is hereby created the designation of an inactive license. The board is authorized to issue an inactive license to any licensee who makes written application for such license on a form provided by the board and remits the application fee established pursuant to K.S.A. 65-6910, and amendments thereto. The board may issue an inactive license only to a person who meets all the requirements for a license as an athletic trainer and who does not perform the functions and duties of an athletic trainer in this state.
