The term of all licenses issued under the provisions of this act shall be July 1 of each year through the following June 30.

Any contractor licensed under the provisions of this act may, on or before July 1, each year, renew such license by paying the annual fee as determined by the secretary and complying with continuing education requirements established by the secretary. If the licensee has not met the requirements for renewal of the license on or before July 1, the license shall be revoked by the secretary. Prior to such revocation, however, the secretary shall notify the applicant of the secretary’s intention to revoke at least 10 days prior to the time set for action to be taken, by notice to the applicant at the address appearing on such license in the records and files of the secretary and compliance with the provisions of the Kansas administrative procedure act. A license, once revoked, may not be reinstated unless the revocation resulted because of an error of the secretary or other reason not the fault of the licensee. A person whose license has been revoked and who desires to continue to engage in the business of water well construction in this state, must make application as provided for in Kan. Stat. Ann. § 82a-1207, and amendments thereto. Such applicant may be required to retake the examination.
