Section 580-5-30B-.07 - License Expiration, Renewal, And Reinstatement

(1) A license shall be granted for a period of two (2) years and shall expire on December 31 in the second year. Failure of the licensee to receive the notice and application to renew the license shall not excuse the licensee from the requirement of Code of Ala. 1975, § 34-5A-7 to renew the license.

(2) A temporary license shall be granted for a period of ninety (90) days and shall expire upon issuance of a permanent license or denial of an application but no later than ninety (90) days from issuance of the temporary license.

(3) A temporary license may be extended one (1) time by the board. Holders of a temporary license shall request an extension by submitting a written request to the board.

(4) Applications for renewal of active licenses shall be received between October 1 and November 30, and shall include the following:

(a) A completed application for renewal;

(b) Proof of continued certification by the certifying entity as defined in this Chapter;

(c) Application review fee and licensure renewal fee payable to the Alabama Behavior Analyst Licensing Board;

(5) Any licensee who fails to renew the license by the November 30 deadline shall not perform any act for which a license is required as of January 1 of the year following expiration. The board shall notify the licensee in writing that the license has expired and the licensee shall immediately cease practice as a licensed behavior analyst or licensed assistant behavior analyst until the board issues a renewed license.

(6) Renewal applications received between December 1 prior to the expiration year and November 30 two (2) years following expiration, shall be considered late. Applications for late renewal shall include the following:

(a) A completed application for renewal;

(b) Proof of current certification by the certifying entity defined in in this Chapter;

(c) Application review fee and licensure renewal fee payable to the Alabama Behavior Analyst Licensing Board;

(d) Late fee as required by this Chapter payable to the Alabama Behavior Analyst Licensing Board;

(7) A suspended license is subject to expiration and may be renewed as provided in this Chapter. Renewal of a suspended license does not entitle the applicant, while the license remains suspended and until it is reinstated, to engage in licensed activity or in other conduct or activity in violation of a license revoked on disciplinary grounds.

(8) Any license which has not been renewed within two (2) years following its expiration may not be renewed, restored, or reissued thereafter. The holder of an expired license may apply for and obtain a valid license only upon compliance with all relevant requirements for issuance of a new license.

(9) A licensed behavior analyst or licensed assistant behavior analyst who desires to return to active practice of applied behavior analysis following suspension shall submit an application for reinstatement that shall include:

(a) A completed application for reinstatement;

(b) Proof of current certification by the certifying entity defined in in this Chapter;

(c) Application review fee and licensure reinstatement fee payable to the Alabama Behavior Analyst Licensing Board;

(d) For licensed assistant behavior analysts, an attestation signed and dated by the supervising board certified behavior analyst in good standing with the certifying entity as proof of ongoing supervision in a manner consistent with the requirements of the certifying entity for supervision of board certified assistant behavior analysts. This letter shall include the applicant's name and be sent directly to the board.
