§ 43-06-13 — Term of license - Renewal - Fee - Requirements

1. A license to practice chiropractic in this state is valid for one year and must be
renewed on or before the first day of September of each year.
2. A renewal applicant shall pay a fee for renewal of a license. The fee for renewal of a
license must be determined by the board from time to time, but may not exceed five
hundred dollars.
3. The board shall establish by rule the number of hours necessary for annual continuing
education.
4. The board shall establish by rule the accepted programs for the annual continuing
education requirement.
5. A license that has not been renewed, as a result of nonpayment of annual registration
fees required by this chapter or as a result of the failure by the licensee to attend the
required annual continuing education, may be reinstated by procedure adopted by the
board in administrative rules. In either case, the board may charge an additional
administrative fee to be fixed by the board at the time of consideration of the
reinstatement, not to exceed four hundred dollars.
6. In addition to the payment of fees, the board, after an investigation, may require a
chiropractor whose license has not been renewed to submit to a re-examination as to
the applicant's qualifications to practice chiropractic before the applicant is reinstated,
if the board in the exercise of the board's discretion finds and determines the best
interests of the public and the applicant will be served thereby.
