(a) Each polygraph examiner license shall be issued for the term of two (2) years and, unless suspended or revoked, may be renewed with documentation prescribed by the Director of the Division of Arkansas State Police.
(b)
(1) A polygraph examiner whose license has been expired for less than six (6) months may renew the license by making a renewal application and paying the renewal fee of fifty dollars ($50.00) and a late fee of twenty dollars ($20.00) required by § 17-39-207.
(2) However, any polygraph examiner license that has been expired for more than six (6) months shall be deemed permanently expired, and the polygraph examiner shall begin the process again as a new applicant.

(4) The requirements, as set out by the director, shall be met before renewal, including the submission of proof to the director of continuing polygraph examiner education of at least fourteen (14) hours successfully completed in the most recent two-year period in a training course approved by the director.
