Section 20 CSR 2255-2.040 - License RenewalPURPOSE: This rule outlines the process of renewing a license to practice as a respiratory care practitioner.
(1) All licenses shall be renewed biennially. Failure of a licensee to renew the license shall cause the license to lapse. Failure to receive notice shall not relieve the licensee of the obligation to renew the license to practice as a respiratory care practitioner and pay the required fee prior to the expiration date of the license. Deposit of the renewal fee by the division or board does not indicate acceptance of the renewal application or that any licensing requirements have been fulfilled. 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 to avoid the late penalty fee as defined in rules promulgated by the board.(2) Each respiratory care practitioner shall provide the board with a completed renewal form issued by the board that shall contain updated information since the preceding application/renewal period and verification of completion of the required continuing education hours pursuant to rules promulgated by the board.(3) 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 board.
