Biennial registration: Submission of list and fee; suspension and reinstatement of license; notice to licensee. [Effective on the date of the repeal of the federal law requiring each state to establish procedures for withholding, suspending and restricting the professional, occupational and recreational licenses for child support arrearages and for noncompliance with certain processes relating to paternity or child support proceedings.]
1. Each holder of a license to practice medicine must, on or before July 1 of each alternate year:
(a) Submit a list of all actions filed or claims submitted to arbitration or mediation for malpractice or negligence against him during the previous 2 years; and
(b) Pay to the Secretary-Treasurer of the Board the applicable fee for biennial registration. This fee must be collected for the period for which a physician is licensed.
2. When a holder of a license fails to pay the fee for biennial registration after it becomes due, his license to practice medicine in this state is automatically suspended. The holder may, within 2 years after the date his license is suspended, upon payment of twice the amount of the current fee for biennial registration to the Secretary-Treasurer, and after he is found to be in good standing and qualified under the provisions of this chapter, be reinstated to practice.
3. The Board shall make such reasonable attempts as are practicable to notify a licensee:
(a) At least once that his fee for biennial registration is due; and
(b) That his license is suspended for nonpayment of the fee. A copy of this notice must be sent to the Drug Enforcement Administration of the United States Department of Justice or its successor agency.
