Sec. 9. (a) Subject to IC 25-1-2-6(e), every holder of a health facility administrator's license shall renew the license on the date established by the licensing agency under IC 25-1-5-4. The renewals shall be granted as a matter of course, unless the board finds, after due notice and hearing, that the applicant has acted or failed to act in a manner or under circumstances that would constitute grounds for nonrenewal, suspension, or revocation of a license.
(b) Subject to IC 25-1-2-6(e), a health facility administrator's license expires at midnight on the renewal date specified by the Indiana professional licensing agency. Failure to renew a license on or before the renewal date automatically renders the license invalid.
(c) A person who fails to renew a license before it expires and becomes invalid at midnight of the renewal date shall be reinstated by the board if the person applies for reinstatement not later than three (3) years after the expiration of the license and meets the requirements under IC 25-1-8-6(c).
(d) The board may reinstate a person who applies to reinstate a license under this section more than three (3) years after the date the license expires and becomes invalid if the person applies to the board for reinstatement and meets the requirements for reinstatement established by the board under IC 25-1-8-6(d).
(e) The board may require an applicant under subsection (d) to appear before the board to explain the applicant's failure to renew.
