renewal; failure to renew

A. The board shall issue licenses and certificates to applicants who are qualified
under this chapter. The board shall only issue licenses under this chapter on the vote
of a majority of the full board. Subject to review by the board at its next board
meeting, the executive director may issue temporary licenses pursuant to section
32-1522.01, license renewals and certificates to qualified applicants.

B. Except as provided in section 32-4301, a license or certificate issued by the
board expires unless renewed each year.

C. Each physician who holds an active license to practice naturopathic medicine in
this state shall renew the license on or before January 1 of each year by supplying the
executive director with information the board determines is necessary and payment of the
annual renewal fee prescribed in section 32-1527.

D. A person who holds a certificate issued by the board other than as provided in
subsection F of this section shall renew the certificate on or before July 1 of each year
by supplying the executive director with information the board determines is necessary
and payment of the annual fee prescribed in section 32-1527.

E. A licensee or certificate holder whose license or certificate is current and who
is not currently the subject of a probationary order or licensure suspension by the board
may request, at any time, and shall be granted cancellation of the license or
certificate.

F. Except as provided in section 32-4301, a naturopathic medical student who holds
a certificate to engage in a clinical training program shall renew the certificate for
each year of the student's clinical training by supplying the executive director with
information the board determines is necessary and paying the annual renewal fee
prescribed in section 32-1527. The initial annual renewal date shall be one year after
the board approved the application for the clinical training program.

G. A person who fails to renew a license or certificate by the due date shall pay a
late renewal fee as prescribed in section 32-1527. Except as provided in section
32-4301, a license or certificate automatically expires if not renewed within sixty days
after the due date.

H. The board may reinstate a license or certificate on payment of all renewal and
penalty fees as prescribed in section 32-1527 and, if requested by the board,
presentation of evidence satisfactory to the board that the applicant for reinstatement
of an expired license is professionally able to engage or assist in the practice of
naturopathic medicine and still possesses the professional knowledge required. If an
applicant for reinstatement of an expired license has not been licensed and actively
practicing in a jurisdiction of the United States or Canada in the three years
immediately preceding the application, the board may issue a limited license that
requires a period of general supervision by another licensed naturopathic physician not
to exceed one year.

I. After a hearing, the board may refuse to reinstate a license or certificate for
any grounds prescribed in section 32-1551.

J. The board and the executive director may prorate initial annual fees when a new
application is approved by dividing the annual amount by twelve and multiplying the
results by the number of months remaining until the next annual renewal date.
