Renewal of license or certificate; continuing education; suspension and reinstatement. [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. Licenses and certificates must be renewed annually. Each person who is licensed pursuant to the provisions of this chapter must, upon the payment of the required renewal fee, be granted a renewal certificate which authorizes him to continue to practice for 1 year.
2. Each renewal fee must be paid to the Board on or before January 1 of the year to which it applies.
3. Except as otherwise provided in subsection 4, a licensee in active practice within this state must submit satisfactory proof to the Board that he has attended at least 12 hours of continuing education which is approved or endorsed by the Board. The educational requirement of this section may be waived by the Board if the licensee files with the Board a statement of a chiropractic physician, osteopathic physician or doctor of medicine certifying that the licensee is suffering from a serious or disabling illness or physical disability which prevented him from completing the requirements for continuing education during the 12 months immediately preceding the renewal date of his license.
4. A licensee is not required to comply with the requirements of subsection 3 until the calendar year after the year the Board issues to him an initial license to practice as a chiropractor in this state.
5. If a licensee fails to pay his renewal fee by January 1, fails to submit proof of continuing education pursuant to subsection 3 or fails to notify the Board of a change in the location of his office pursuant to NRS 634.129, his license is automatically suspended and may be reinstated only upon the payment of the required fee for reinstatement in addition to the renewal fee.
6. If a holder of a certificate as a chiropractor’s assistant fails to pay his renewal fee by January 1 or fails to notify the Board of a change in the location of his office pursuant to NRS 634.129, his certificate is automatically suspended and may be reinstated only upon the payment of the required fee for reinstatement in addition to the renewal fee.
