OAR 331-255-0040: Licensure Issuance and Renewal

(1) Licensure and renewal: A license is subject to the provisions of OAR Chapter 331, Division 30 regarding the issuance and renewal of a license, authorization to practice, identification, and duplicate licenses. (2) License renewal: To avoid late fees, a license must be renewed before the license becomes inactive as described in section (3) of this rule. To renew a license, the licensee must: (a) Submit a renewal application form. (b) Pay the renewal fee pursuant to OAR 331-200-0020. (3) Inactive license renewal: A license becomes inactive if it is not renewed before its “active through” date. A license may be inactive for up to three years, but an inactive license does not authorize its holder to practice genetic counseling or use the title or designation of “Licensed Genetic Counselor.” To renew an inactive license, the licensee must: (a) Submit a renewal application form; and (b) Pay the delinquency and renewal fees pursuant to 331-200-0020. (4) Expired license: A license that has been inactive for more than three years is expired, and the licensee must reapply for licensure and meet the requirements listed in OAR 331-205-0000.
