Proof of
Compliance
A renewal application must include a completed continuing education
form as specified by the board outlining professional development
hours claimed. The licensee or certificate holder must supply
detail on the form to permit audit verification, must sign the
continuing education form certifying completion of the
requirements, and must submit he form with the renewal application
and fee.
The licensee or certificate holder shall maintain a file in which
records of courses and activities are kept, including dates,
subjects, duration of programs, sponsoring organization,
professional development hours earned, registration receipts where
appropriate, and other pertinent documentation, for a period of two
years after submission to the board.
This information may be required to be produced by licensees or
certificate holders. The board may require a licensee or
certificate holder to produce this information in connection with
verification of a renewal application, a random audit conducted by
the board, or upon receipt of a complaint alleging noncompliance on
the part of a licensee or certificate holder.
Non-Compliance
Penalties
If the board rejects professional development hours reported
by a licensee or certificate holder in an amount sufficient to
reduce the number of nonrejected professional development hours
below the required minimum number, the licensee or certificate
holder must be notified of the board's rejection of the hours. The
licensee or certificate holder has 180 days after notification to
substantiate the validity of the rejected hours or to earn other
qualifying hours to meet the minimum requirement. The board's
rejection of any professional development hours submitted during
this 180-day cure period does not extend or expand the cure period.
If the board does not reinstate a sufficient number of the rejected
professional development hours to meet the required minimum number
of professional development hours, or the licensee or certificate
holder does not complete or substantiate that the individual has
completed other qualifying professional development hours to meet
the required minimum number of professional development hours
within the specified period of time, the individual's licensure or
certification shall be suspended. Professional development hours
earned within the 180-day cure period and applied to current
renewal may not be applied to the requirements for the following
biennial renewal.
Exceptions and
Exemptions
- a new licensee or certificate holder for the individual's first
biennial renewal; or
- a licensee or certificate holder who has experienced during the
biennial renewal a serious illness, injury, or other extenuating
circumstances, or who has been called to active duty in the
military services for a period of time exceeding 120 consecutive
days, as reviewed and approved by the board, and where such
activities restrict compliance with the continuing education
requirements, as supported by documentation furnished to the
board.
