Every person licensed to practice any branch of the healing arts in this state shall apply to the division for a certificate of registration. Notwithstanding any provision of this title to the contrary, the division, with the approval of the commissioner, shall establish a system of license renewals at alternative intervals that will allow for the distribution of the license workload as uniformly as is practicable throughout the calendar year. Licenses issued under the alternative method are valid for twenty-four (24) months and expire on the last day of the last month of the license period. However, during a transition period, or at any time thereafter when the board determines that the volume of work for any given interval is unduly burdensome or costly, either the licenses or renewals, or both of them, may be issued for terms of not less than six (6) months nor more than eighteen (18) months. The fee imposed for any license under the alternative interval method for a period of other than twenty-four (24) months shall be proportionate to the annual fee and modified in no other manner, except that the proportional fee shall be rounded off to the nearest quarter of a dollar (25¢).
No renewal application will be accepted after the last day of the month following the license expiration date under the alternative method authorized in subdivision (a)(1).
All new licenses issued by the division, upon application and payment of the registration fee provided in this subsection (b), shall be registered by the division at the time of issuance and a certificate of registration shall be issued to the licensee.
Each application shall be made on a form to be furnished by the division. Such application shall give the applicant's name in full, the applicant's address, the date and number of the license issued to such applicant for the practice of the healing arts or any branch thereof, and such other facts as tend to identify the applicant and the applicant's license as the division deems necessary.
Each applicant for registration shall submit with the application a fee as set annually by the division.
When any licensee fails to register and pay the annual registration fee within sixty (60) days after the registration becomes due as provided in this section, the license of such person shall be automatically revoked at the expiration of sixty (60) days after the registration was required, without further notice or hearing.
Any person whose license is automatically revoked as provided in subsection (c) may make application in writing to the appropriate licensing board for the reinstatement of such license; and, upon good cause being shown, the division and the board in their discretion may reinstate such license upon the payment of the renewal fee as set by the board as well as a late renewal fee set by the board, which may not exceed twice the renewal fee.
