D.C. Mun. Regs. tit. 17 § 6610
This section shall apply to applicants for the renewal, reactivation, or reinstatement of a license expiring December 31, 2008, and for subsequent terms.
This section shall not apply to applicants for an initial license by examination, reciprocity, or endorsement, nor shall it apply to applicants for the first renewal of a license granted by examination.
A continuing education credit shall be valid only if it is part of a program or activity approved by the Board in accordance with § 6611.
An applicant for the renewal of a license shall submit proof of having completed forty (40) hours of approved continuing education credit during the two (2)-year period preceding the date the license expires, which shall include the following:
To qualify for the reactivation of a license, a person in inactive status within the meaning of § 511 of the Act, D.C. Official Code § 3-1205.11, who submits an application to reactivate a license shall submit proof of having completed, within one (1) year prior to application, twenty (20) hours of approved continuing education credit for each license year that the applicant was in inactive status. The total shall include at least six (6) hours in ethics, four (4) hours in trauma counseling, and two (2) hours of LGBTQ+.
To qualify for a license, an applicant for reinstatement of a license shall submit proof of having completed twenty (20) hours of approved continuing education credit for each year that the applicant was not licensed. The total shall include at least six (6) hours in ethics, four (4) hours in trauma counseling, and two (2) hours of LGBTQ+.
An applicant under this section shall prove completion of required continuing education credits by submitting with the application the following information with respect to each program:
An applicant under this section shall prove completion of individualized learning under § 6611.6(c) by submitting a signed statement from the supervisor which sets forth the information required by § 6602.4.
An applicant for renewal of a license who fails to submit proof of having completed continuing education requirements by the date the license expires may renew the license up to sixty (60) days after expiration by submitting proof and paying the required additional late fee.
Upon submitting proof and paying the late fee, the applicant shall be deemed to have possessed a valid license during the period between the expiration of the license and the submission of the required documentation and payment of the late fee.
If an applicant for renewal of a license fails to submit proof of completion of continuing education requirements or pay the late fee within sixty (60) days after the expiration of the applicant's license, the license shall be considered to have lapsed on the date of expiration.
The Board may, in its discretion, grant an extension of the sixty (60) day period to renew after expiration if the applicant's failure to submit proof of completion was for good cause.
