Any individual who submits an application for a renewal of registration within 30 days after the date of expiration shall also pay a late renewal fee fixed by rules and regulations. Any individual who submits an application for a renewal of registration after the 30-day period following the date of expiration shall be considered as having a registration that has lapsed for failure to renew and shall be reissued a registration only after the individual has been reinstated under subsection (d).
(c) The department shall issue a registration to an operator upon receipt of an application for renewal of registration, the renewal fee and the evidence required for approval.
(d) An operator who allows their registration to lapse by failing to renew may be reinstated upon payment of the renewal fee, the reinstatement fee and submission of evidence demonstrating satisfactory completion of any applicable program or a course of study established by the secretary for reinstatement of persons whose registrations have lapsed for failure to renew. The secretary shall adopt rules and regulations establishing appropriate requirements for reinstatement of persons whose registrations have lapsed for failure to renew.
(e) The expiration date of registrations issued or renewed shall be established by rules and regulations of the secretary. Subject to the provisions of this subsection, each registration shall be renewable on a biennial basis upon the filing of a renewal application prior to the expiration of an existing registration and upon payment of the renewal fee established pursuant to rules and regulations. To provide for a system of biennial renewal of registrations, the secretary may provide by rules and regulations that registrations issued or renewed for the first time after July 1, 2014, may expire less than two years from the date of issuance or renewal. In each case in which a registration is issued or renewed for a period of time less than two years, the secretary shall prorate to the nearest whole month the registration or renewal fee established pursuant to rules and regulations.
