At the time of application for renewal, each licensee must certify, on a form provided by the Board, compliance with the continuing education credit hours required during the preceding license term or during the continuing education period established in statute or by Board rule. No additional information or continuing education documentation is required to be submitted at the time of renewal. However, the licensee must retain documentation of all continuing education credit hours earned during the most recent license renewal term for two years' post-renewal.
Applicants for license renewal will be selected on a random basis for audit of continuing education compliance. In addition, an individual licensee may be selected for an audit as part of an investigation or if there is reasonable cause to believe the licensee has provided a false certification concerning the completion of continuing education requirements.
Licensees selected for audit will be notified to submit documentation of the continuing education activities that were certified by the licensee at the time of renewal. Continuing education credit hours that cannot be documented in accordance with the documentation requirements of Section IV(B) or that do not satisfy the criteria for continuing education contained in statute or Board rule will be disallowed.
