Current through Register Vol. 51, No. 20, October 4, 2024

Section 26.05.02.06 - Renewal of Licenses

A. Renewal.

(1) A license may be renewed for a 2-year period by the Board if the licensee has:

(a) Submitted an application for renewal within 60 days before the expiration date of the license;

(b) Paid the required renewal fee;

(c) Completed the necessary approved training as required by COMAR 26.05.03 and submitted proof of training; and

(d) Submitted evidence of bonding and liability insurance as required by Regulation .05 of this chapter.

(2) Except as provided in §C(1), of this regulation, the Board may deny the application to renew a license if the applicant:

(a) Has failed to satisfy any of the requirements of §A(1), of this regulation; or

(b) Is the holder of a temporary license.

B. Notification.

(1) The Board shall notify the licensee of the need to renew the license not later than 60 days before expiration.

(2) Failure to notify the licensee does not relieve the licensee of the licensee's obligation to renew the license, nor does it affect the expiration of the license.

C. Late Renewal.

(1) An applicant may apply for late renewal within 30 days following the expiration date of the license by:

(a) Submitting a completed renewal application within the 30-day period;

(b) Satisfying the renewal requirements under §A(1)(b)-(d), of this regulation; and

(c) Paying the late renewal fee to the Board.

(2) Failure to comply with the requirements of §C(1), of this regulation, results in the automatic termination of the license. The former licensee shall then comply with the current requirements for either reinstating an expired license or obtaining a new license under this subtitle.

D. Inactive Status.

(1) A licensee may place or continue his or her license on an inactive status for a 2-year period, if the licensee has:

(a) Submitted an application for inactive status within 60 days before the expiration date of the license; and

(b) Paid the required inactive status fee.

(2) Before the Board reactivates the license of an inactive-status licensee, that licensee shall satisfy the renewal requirements of §A(1)(b)-(d), of this regulation.
