A. The State Board of Examiners of Psychologists shall issue a license to each person that it registers as a psychologist. The license shall show the full name of the psychologist and shall bear a serial number. The license shall be signed by the chairman and secretary of the Board under the seal of the Board.
B. Licenses expire on the thirty-first day of December following their issuance or renewal and are invalid thereafter unless renewed.
C. The Board shall notify every person licensed under this act of the date of expiration and the amount of the renewal fee. Notice shall be provided at least one (1) month before the expiration of the license. Renewal may be made at any time during the months of November or December upon application therefor by payment of the renewal fee. Failure on the part of any person licensed to pay his or her renewal fee before the first day of January does not deprive such person of the right to renew his or her license, but the fee to be paid for renewal after December shall be increased ten percent (10%) for each month or fraction thereof that the payment of the renewal fee is delayed. However, the maximum fee for delayed renewal shall not exceed twice the normal renewal fee. A psychologist who wishes to place his or her license on inactive status may do so upon application by payment of a fee as fixed by the Board; such a psychologist shall not accrue any penalty for late payment of the renewal fee.
D. The Oklahoma Tax Commission shall notify any psychologist who is not in compliance with the income tax laws of this state. Such notification shall include:
1. A statement that the Tax Commission shall proceed by garnishment to collect any delinquent tax and to collect any penalty or interest due and owing as a result of a tax delinquency until the psychologist is deemed by the Commission to be in compliance with the income tax laws of this state;
2. The reasons that the psychologist is considered to be out of compliance with the income tax laws of this state, including a statement of the amount of any tax, penalties and interest due or a list of the tax years for which income tax returns have not been filed as required by law;
3. An explanation of the rights of the psychologist and the procedures which must be followed by the psychologist in order to come into compliance with the income tax laws of this state; and
4. Such other information as may be deemed necessary by the Tax Commission.
