The board may renew a certificate or license if the practitioner:

(1) Submits an application to the board for renewal before the expiration of the certificate or license;

(2) Pays the required renewal fee; and

(3) Provides proof of compliance with the continuing education requirements prescribed by the board.

If a practitioner fails to renew a certificate or license on or before November thirtieth in an odd-numbered year, the certificate or license is automatically suspended.

If a practitioner does not submit a renewal application before the expiration of the certificate or license, the board shall notify the holder that a renewal application has not been received by the board and that the holder may not practice addiction counseling or prevention services. The board may renew the certificate or license if, within thirty days after the expiration date of the certificate or license, the holder submits a renewal application and provides proof of compliance with the continuing education requirements prescribed by the board.
