§ 90‑339.  Renewal of licenses.

(a) All licenses shall be effective upon the date of issuance by the Board, and shall expire on the second June 30 thereafter.

(b) All licenses issued hereunder shall be renewed at the times and in the manner provided by this section.  At least 45 days prior to expiration of each license, the Board shall mail a notice for license renewal to the person licensed for the current licensure period.  At least 10 days before the current license expires, the applicant must return the notice properly completed, together with a renewal fee established by the Board and evidence of continuing counselor education as approved by the Board, upon receipt of which the Board shall issue to the person to be licensed the renewed license for the period stated on the license.

(c) Any person licensed who allows the license to lapse for failure to apply for renewal within 45 days after notice shall be subject to the late renewal fee.  Failure to apply for renewal of a license within one year after the license's expiration date will require that a license be reissued only upon application as for an original license.
