A license may be renewed without the necessary continuing education, but it is only renewed to an inactive status. Prior to reactivating a license that has been issued inactive due to failure to submit evidence of continuing education, the licensee submits evidence that all deficient continuing education hours have been completed. The maximum continuing education hours cannot exceed the prescribed number of hours of one license renewal period and are completed during the three calendar years preceding activation of the license.
