Section 20 CSR 2115-2.040 - License RenewalPURPOSE: This amendment changes the license expiration date.
(1) All licenses shall be renewed biennially.(A) All licenses shall be renewed in even-numbered years and shall expire on March 31 of each even-numbered year.(B) Each licensed dietitian shall provide the committee with a completed renewal form, issued by the committee that shall contain updated information since the preceding application/renewal period.(C) Renewal applications shall be mailed to the last known address of each current licensee.(D) Failure to receive a renewal notice shall not relieve the licensee of the obligation to renew the license in order to use the title licensed dietitian, LD, or LDN and pay the required fee prior to the expiration date of the license.(E) Deposit of the renewal fee by the division or committee shall not indicate acceptance of the renewal application or that any licensing requirements have been fulfilled.(F) Renewals shall be postmarked no later than the expiration date of the license, or if the expiration date is a Sunday or federal holiday, the next day.(G) However, a twenty-nine- (29-) day grace period is established following the date by which every licensed dietitian must renew his/her license. The committee shall cause a license to be renewed if renewal is sought and all fees paid before the expiration of the grace period. Failure to renew before the end of the grace period will result in the licensee paying the renewal fee and delinquent fee pursuant to rules promulgated by the committee.(2) Failure of a licensee to renew a license before the expiration date will cause the license to be noncurrent. Within two (2) years of the expiration date, the licensee may submit payment of the renewal fee, delinquent fee, and provide the committee with a completed renewal form that shall contain updated information since the preceding application/renewal period.(3) A licensee who fails to renew a license for a period more than two (2) years after the expiration of the license shall reapply for licensure under regulations in effect at the time of reapplication.(4) Applicants that are approved for renewal will receive one (1) license. Duplicate licenses may be provided upon payment of the appropriate fee pursuant to rules promulgated by the committee.(5) Applicants for renewal shall be required to provide proof from the Commission on Dietetic Registration (CDR) that the licensee has a current registration with CDR.
