Section 73-38-29 - Expiration and renewal of licenses or privileges to practice(1) Except as provided in Section 33-1-39, licenses issued under this article shall expire and become invalid at midnight of the expiration date. A person's privilege to practice in this state in accordance with this article shall be valid until the expiration date of that person's home state license.(2) Every person licensed under this article or holding the privilege to practice shall, on or before the license or the privilege to practice expiration date, pay a fee for the biennial renewal of license or the privilege to practice, in accordance with the terms of the Compact, to the board. The board may suspend the license or the privilege to practice of any person who fails to have his or her license or privilege to practice renewed by the expiration date. After the expiration date, the board may renew a license or the privilege to practice upon payment of a fee to the board. No person who requests renewal of license or the privilege to practice, whose license or privilege to practice has expired, shall be required to submit to examination as a condition to renewal, if such renewal application is made within two (2) years from the date of such expiration.(3) A suspended license or the privilege to practice is subject to expiration and may be renewed as provided in this section, but such renewal shall not entitle the licensee, while the license or the privilege to practice remains suspended and until it is reinstated, to engage in the licensed activity, or in any other conduct or activity in violation of the order or judgment by which the license or privilege to practice was suspended.(4) A license or the privilege to practice revoked on disciplinary grounds is subject to expiration as provided in subsection (1) of this section, but it may not be renewed. If such license or privilege to practice is reinstated after its expiration, the licensee, as a condition of reinstatement, shall pay a reinstatement fee in an amount equal to the fee for a license or the privilege to practice issued after the expiration date which is in effect on the last preceding regular renewal date before the date on which it is reinstated. The procedure for the reinstatement of a license that is suspended for being out of compliance with an order for support, as defined in Section 93-11-153, shall be governed by Section 93-11-157 or 93-11-163, as the case may be.(5) Any person who fails to renew his or her license or privilege to practice within the two (2) years after the date of its expiration may not renew it, and it may not be restored, reissued or reinstated thereafter, but such person may apply for and obtain a new license or privilege to practice if he or she meets the requirements of this article.
