Section VE 1.28 - Renewal of license A license expires if not renewed by January 1 of even-numbered years. A licensee who allows the license to expire may apply to the board for renewal of the license as follows:
(1) If the licensee applies for renewal of the license less than 5 years after its expiration, the license shall be renewed upon payment of the renewal fee, payment of the late fee if applicable, and fulfillment of 30 hours of continuing education required under s. VE 1.30 completed before the license renewal.(2) If the licensee applies for renewal of the license 5 or more years after its expiration, in addition to requiring the licensee to pay the renewal fee and late fee, and to fulfill the continuing education hours required under s. VE 1.30 completed before the license renewal, the board shall inquire as to whether the applicant is competent to practice as a veterinarian in this state and shall impose any reasonable conditions on reinstatement of the license, including reexamination, as the board deems appropriate. An applicant under this subsection is presumed to be competent to practice as a veterinarian in this state if at the time of application for renewal the applicant holds a full unexpired license issued by a similar licensing board of another state or territory of the United States or of a foreign country or province whose standards, in the opinion of the board, are equivalent to or higher than the requirements for licensure in this state. Notwithstanding any presumption of competency under this subsection, the board shall require each applicant under this subsection to pass the examination specified under s. VE 1.14 (2).(3) The licensee shall pay a nonrefundable renewal fee of $160.(4) A licensee who submits a license renewal after January 1 of even numbered years shall pay, in addition to the renewal fee under sub. (3), a nonrefundable late fee of $25.Wis. Admin. Code Veterinary Examining Board VE 1.28
