Renewal of certificate. [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. The certificate of a nursing assistant must be renewed biennially on the date of the certificate holder’s birthday.
2. The Board shall renew a certificate if the applicant:
(a) Submits a completed written application and the fee required by this chapter;
(b) Submits documentation of completion of continuing training, as required by the Board, in the previous 24 months;
(c) Has not committed any acts which are grounds for disciplinary action, unless the Board determines that sufficient restitution has been made or the act was not substantially related to nursing; and
(d) Submits documentation of employment as a nursing assistant during the 2 years immediately preceding the date of the renewal.
Ê The training program completed pursuant to paragraph (b) must be approved by the Board.
3. Failure to renew the certificate results in forfeiture of the right to practice unless the nursing assistant qualifies for the issuance of a new certificate.
4. Renewal of a certificate becomes effective on the date on which the application is filed or the date on which the renewal fee is paid, whichever is the later.
