OAR 833-075-0020: License Renewal/Late Renewal

(1) Before the Board will renew a license, a licensee must, no more than 45 days before or during the renewal month: (a) Submit an application for renewal in a form and manner prescribed by the Board, which must include complete and truthful responses to all questions regarding continuing education, character and fitness, licensee's current information and status, and any other questions, and a sworn statement that there is no reason for denial of renewal; (b) Pay the appropriate renewal fee; (c) Submit continuing education information detailing compliance with the requirements, if applicable; and (d) Complete the required healthcare workforce data survey and pay the fee established by the Oregon Health Authority pursuant to ORS 676.410. (2) Late Renewal. A licensee may renew a license in the month following the renewal month by, in addition to completing the requirements of section (1) above, submitting to the Board the required delinquent fee. If these are not timely submitted, then the license shall lapse. (3) The licensee holds the burden of proof of submission of the items required for renewal. Failure to receive a courtesy reminder from the Board shall not relieve a licensee of the renewal requirements and consequences. (4) The Board shall have discretion to waive the delinquent fee in cases of documented hardship. (5) When a former licensee who has allowed their license to lapse continues to practice in violation of ORS 675.825(1)(d), the Board may treat each 90-day increment of unlicensed practice (or any part thereof) as a separate violation for purposes of imposing a sanction pursuant to ORS 675.745(4).
