A certificate of registration issued under La. Rev. Stat. 40:1730.35(B) is valid for one year and expires on the last day of the month of issuance.  Renewal of all registrations must be based upon a determination by the council of the applicant’s participation in council-approved continuing education programs.  The council must promulgate regulations setting forth the continuing education requirements for building code enforcement officers.  A person failing to make timely renewal of his certificate is not registered unless qualified in the manner provided for new registrants under La. Rev. Stat. 40:1730.35(B) and may not practice until registered in accordance with this Part.
