A. The Board of Examiners for Speech-Language Pathology and Audiology shall issue a license certificate to each person whom it registers as a speech-language pathologist and/or audiologist. Licensure shall be granted in either speech-language pathology or audiology independently. Qualified applicants may be independently licensed in both. The certificate shall show the full legal name of the licensee and shall bear a serial number. The serial number is exclusive and not transferable. The certificate shall be signed by the chair and executive secretary of the Board under the seal of the Board. B. Licenses for independent practitioners expire on the 31st day of December following their issuance or renewal, and are invalid thereafter unless renewed. The Board shall notify every person licensed pursuant to the Speech-Language Pathology and Audiology Licensing Act of the date of expiration and the amount of the renewal fee. This notice shall be mailed at least one (1) month before the expiration of the license. Renewal may be made at any time during the months of November or December upon application therefore, and by payment of the renewal fee. Failure on the part of any licensed person to pay such person’s renewal fee before the first day in January does not deprive the person of the person’s right to renew the person’s license, but the fee to be paid for renewal after December shall be increased by fifty percent (50%) for each month or fraction thereof that the payment is delayed, up to a maximum of three times the current renewal fee. C. A licensed speech-language pathologist or audiologist may place such person’s license on inactive status if, prior to expiration of the person’s license, the person makes written application to the Board for such status and pays a fee of Twenty- five Dollars ($25.00). Thereafter, the person may renew such person’s license upon payment of a renewal fee equal to one and one- half (1 1/2) times the then current license fee. During the period of time the person’s license is in an inactive status, the person shall not engage in the practice of speech-language pathology or audiology in the State of Oklahoma.
