(b) The Committee shall send a notice of renewal to each licensee, at least 60 days prior to the expiration of the license. If the notice to renew is not sent at least 60 days prior to the expiration date, no monetary penalties or fines shall apply to the holder for failure to renew.

A licensee who fails to renew the license within 30 days after the expiration date of the license shall be suspended without a hearing.

(d) A person who continues to practice or hold himself or herself out as a licensee of this State after the license has been suspended shall be deemed to have committed unlicensed practice, even if no notice of suspension has been provided to the person.
