32-923. Change of address; annual renewal fee; failure to renew; waivers; definition
A. Every person who is licensed pursuant to this chapter shall notify the board in writing of any change in residence or office address and telephone number within thirty days after that change. The board shall impose a penalty of fifty dollars on a licensee who does not notify the board as required by this subsection.
B. Except as provided in section 32-4301, every person who is licensed to practice chiropractic in this state shall annually make a renewal application to the board before January 1 after original issuance of a license and shall pay a renewal license fee of not more than two hundred twenty-five dollars as established by the board. The renewal application shall be made on a form and in a manner prescribed by the board. At least thirty days before the renewal application and renewal fee are due, the board shall send by first class mail a renewal application and notice requiring license renewal and payment of the renewal fee.
C. The board shall administratively suspend a license automatically if the licensee does not submit a complete application for renewal and pay the renewal license fee as required by this section.
D. The board may reinstate a license if the person completes an application for reinstatement as prescribed by the board, complies with the continuing education requirements for each year that the license was suspended, pays the annual renewal license fee for each year that the license was suspended and pays an additional fee of two hundred dollars. An applicant who does not request reinstatement within two years of the date of suspension shall apply for a license as a new candidate pursuant to section 32-921 or 32-922.01.
E. The board may waive the annual renewal license fee if a licensee presents evidence satisfactory to the board that the licensee has permanently retired from the practice of chiropractic and has paid all fees required by this chapter before the waiver.
F. During the period of waiver the retired licensee shall not engage in the practice of chiropractic. A violation of this subsection subjects the retired licensee to the same penalties as are imposed in this chapter on a person who practices chiropractic without a license.
G. The board may reinstate a retired licensee to active practice on payment of the annual renewal license fee and presentation of evidence satisfactory to the board that the retired licensee is professionally able to engage in the practice of chiropractic and still possesses the professional knowledge required. After a hearing, the board may refuse to reinstate a retired licensee to active practice under this subsection on any of the grounds prescribed in section 32-924.
H. For the purposes of this section, " administratively suspend" means a nondisciplinary action that is imposed for failure to renew a license and that requires the licensee to suspend practice until renewal requirements are met.
