(1)(a) A registered architect must periodically renew the registration described in ORS 671.020 by submitting to the State Board of Architect Examiners, on or before the renewal date the board establishes by rule: (A) An application for renewal; (B) Any fees the board authorizes under ORS 671.085; and (C) Evidence satisfactory to the board that the registered architect has complied with any continuing education requirements the board adopted under ORS 671.125, unless the board waives the continuing education requirements. (b) The board shall renew the registered architect’s certificate of registration after the applicant complies with the requirements described in paragraph (a) of this subsection. (2) If a registered architect does not renew the certificate of registration on or before the renewal deadline the board establishes by rule, the certificate of registration expires on the 61st day after the renewal deadline. (3)(a) A person is no longer a registered architect and forfeits the right to engage in the practice of architecture in this state if, for a period of more than 60 days after a renewal deadline, the person fails to pay a renewal fee or any late fee the board imposes or if the person fails to submit evidence satisfactory to the board of the person’s compliance with continuing education requirements the board adopts under ORS 671.125, unless the board waives the continuing education requirements. (b) The board may reinstate as a registered architect a person that failed to renew the person’s certificate of registration only if the person passes any examination the board requires, the person complies with any continuing education requirements the board adopted under ORS 671.125 and the person pays all outstanding renewal fees, late fees and penalties. (4) The board may grant inactive status to any registered architect who ceases to engage in the practice of architecture and, while in good standing, submits to the board a written request for inactive status. The registered architect may resume practice by passing any examinations the board requires, complying with any continuing education requirements the board adopts under ORS 671.125 and paying any required fees and penalties.
