(a) Subject to IC 25-1-2-6(e), every holder of
a health facility administrator's license or a residential care
administrator's license shall renew the license on the date established
by the licensing agency under IC 25-1-5-4. The renewals shall be
granted as a matter of course, unless the board finds, after due notice
and hearing, that the applicant has acted or failed to act in a manner or
under circumstances that would constitute grounds for nonrenewal,
suspension, or revocation of a license.
(b) Subject to IC 25-1-2-6(e), a health facility administrator's license
and a residential care administrator's license expire at midnight on the
renewal date specified by the Indiana professional licensing agency.
Failure to renew a license on or before the renewal date automatically
renders the license invalid.
(c) A person who fails to renew a license before it expires and
becomes invalid at midnight of the renewal date shall be reinstated by
the board if the person applies for reinstatement not later than three (3)
years after the expiration of the license and meets the requirements
under IC 25-1-8-6(c).
(d) The board may reinstate a person who applies to reinstate a
license under this section more than three (3) years after the date the
license expires and becomes invalid if the person applies to the board
for reinstatement and meets the requirements for reinstatement
established by the board under IC 25-1-8-6(d).
(e) The board may require an applicant under subsection (d) to
appear before the board to explain the applicant's failure to renew.
(f) Except as provided in subsection (g), the board may not renew
a health facility administrator's license or a residential care
administrator's license if the health facility administrator or residential
care administrator failed to comply with the continuing education
requirements prescribed by the board.
(g) The board may renew a license described in subsection (f) if any
of the following apply:
(1) The licensed health facility administrator or licensed
residential care administrator submits a statement from the
administrator's physician or surgeon verifying that the
administrator is unable to practice health facility administration
due to illness or physical disability.
