Section 833-050-0131 - Associate Registration Renewal

(1) A registered associate must renew registration annually each year following initial registration. Annual renewal is due by the first day of the month of initial registration to be considered timely.

(2) Registration renewal requires the registered associate to submit an application for registration renewal in a form and manner prescribed by the Board, which must include the renewal fee, complete and truthful responses to all of the questions regarding character and fitness, clinical supervised experience, registrant's current information and status, and any other questions.

(3) Late Renewal. A registered associate may renew a registration after the first day of the month but within the renewal month by, in addition to completing the requirement in section (2) above, submitting to the Board the required delinquent fee. If these are not timely submitted, then the associate registration will be expired. Expired registered associates must reapply pursuant to OAR 833-020-0071 in order to practice as a registered associate or be considered for licensure.

(4) Renewal may be denied if any of the conditions of the plan are not being met.

(5) Registered associates must renew registration annually until being granted a license or the expiration or denial of associate registration.

(6) A former registered associate who allows their registration to lapse, and continues to practice professional counseling or marriage and family therapy unregistered in violation of ORS 675.825(1)(d), is subject to disciplinary action, to include but not limited to the following sanctions:

(a) If the person practices during the period of 1-30 days following registration lapse: $100 civil penalty and assessment of costs of the disciplinary process (if any);

(b) If the person practices during the period of 31-60 days following registration lapse: $250 civil penalty and assessment of costs of the disciplinary process (if any);

(c) If the person practices during the period of 61-90 days following registration lapse: $500 civil penalty, reprimand, and assessment of costs of the disciplinary process (if any);

(d) In addition to section (c), for each additional 30-day period in which the person practices following 91 days of registration lapse, the Board shall assess an additional $250 civil penalty and assess the costs of the disciplinary process (if any).
