registration may be renewed by submitting the renewal application, renewal fee, proof
of completion of continuing education, and a late fee established by the board by rule.
5. Between sixty-one days and one year after December thirty-first of the odd-numbered

application, pays the renewal fee, pays an amount equal to twice the late renewal fee,
and submits other documentation sought by the board confirming the individual retains
the skills necessary to practice.

the board, a dental assistant shall provide satisfactory documentation of attendance at,
or participation in, the continuing education activities listed on the dental assistant's
continuing education form. Failure to comply with the audit is grounds for nonrenewal
or disciplinary action against the dental assistant.
