Section 4312 - License required1. Requirement. A person may not practice micropigmentation, display a sign or otherwise advertise or purport to be a micropigmentation practitioner unless that person holds a valid license issued by the department. [1997, c. 383, §1(NEW).]
2.Term of license. A license issued under this chapter expires on September 30th and is renewable biennially. [1997, c. 383, §1(NEW).]
2-A.License renewal. A license under this chapter may be renewed biennially upon payment of the prescribed fee, including late fees, additional inspection fees and fines if assessed and subject to compliance with rules of the department and this chapter. The department shall provide licensees with notice of the need for renewal and necessary forms no less than 30 days prior to the expiration of a license. [2021, c. 125, §30(NEW).]
2-B.Conditional license. When an applicant for initial licensure or license renewal is found, based upon an inspection by the department, not in compliance with this chapter or rules adopted pursuant to section 4313, the department may refuse issuance of the initial or renewal license, but shall issue a conditional license, except when conditions are found that present a serious danger to the health and safety of the public. Failure by the conditional licensee to meet the conditions specified by the department permits the department to void the conditional license. The applicant may reapply for a biennial license if the conditional license is voided or expires; however, the department may not reissue another conditional license. All conditions must be met in order for an applicant to reapply for and be issued a biennial license. [2021, c. 125, §31(NEW).]
