32-2816. Certificates; terms; registration; renewal; cancellation; waiver
A. Except as provided in section 32-4301, if a certificate holder's last name begins with a letter that falls between A through M, the certificate expires on the certificate holder's birthday in every even numbered year. All other certificates expire on the certificate holder's birthday in every odd numbered year. The board shall notify a certificate holder thirty days before the expiration date of the certificate.
B. The board may renew a certificate for two years on payment of a renewal fee in an amount established by the board pursuant to section 32-2803 and submission of a renewal application containing information the board requires to show that the applicant for renewal is a technologist in good standing. The applicant for renewal shall also present evidence satisfactory to the board of having completed twenty-four hours of continuing education in radiologic technology within the preceding two years. If a radiologic technologist is certified by the American registry of radiologic technologists, that person must satisfy the continuing education requirements of this subsection by providing the board with evidence of the technologist's good standing and current certification with that registry.
C. A certificate holder who fails to renew the certificate on or before the certificate holder's birthday as prescribed in subsection A of this section shall pay a penalty fee of fifty dollars for late renewal.
D. A certificate holder who does not renew a certificate within thirty days after the certificate expires and who continues the active practice of radiologic technology without adequate cause satisfactory to the board is subject to censure, reprimand or denial of right to renew the certificate pursuant to section 32-2821.
E. On the request of a certificate holder in good standing, the board shall cancel a certificate.
F. The board shall waive the renewal fee if a certificate holder submits an affidavit to the board stating that the certificate holder is retired from the practice of radiologic technology or wishes to be placed on inactive status. A retired or inactive technologist who practices is subject to the same penalties imposed pursuant to this chapter on a person who practices radiologic technology without a certificate.
G. The board may reinstate a technologist on retired or inactive status on payment of the renewal fee pursuant to subsection B of this section.
