A. Except as otherwise provided in the Radiologist Assistant Licensure Act, a license shall be renewed biennially. The State Board of Medical Licensure and Supervision shall mail notices at least thirty (30) days prior to expiration for renewal of licenses to every person to whom a license was issued or renewed during the preceding renewal period. The licensee shall complete the notice of renewal and return it to the Board with the renewal fee determined by the Board before the date of expiration.
B. Upon receipt of the notice of renewal and the fee, the Board shall verify its contents and shall issue the licensee a license for the current renewal period, which shall be valid for the period stated thereon.
C. A licensee who allows the license to lapse by failing to renew it may be reinstated by the Board upon payment of the renewal fee and reinstatement fee of One Hundred Dollars ($100.00); provided, that such request for reinstatement must be received within thirty (30) days of the end of the renewal period.
D. 1. A licensed radiologist assistant who does not intend to engage in the practice shall send a written notice to that effect to the Board and is not required to submit a notice of renewal and pay the renewal fee as long as the practitioner remains inactive. Upon desiring to resume practicing as a radiologist assistant, the practitioner shall notify the Board in writing of this intent and shall satisfy the current requirements of the Board in addition to submitting a notice of renewal and remitting the renewal fee for the current renewal period and the reinstatement fee.
2. Rules of the Board shall provide for a specific period of time of continuous inactivity after which retesting is required.
