Retirement. A. An applicant who meets the requirements for licensure pursuant to the provisions of the Licensed Professional Counselors Act, has paid the required license fees and has otherwise complied with the provisions of the Licensed Professional Counselors Act shall be licensed by the State Board of Behavioral Health Licensure. B. Each initial license issued pursuant to the Licensed Professional Counselors Act shall expire twenty-four (24) months from the date of issuance unless revoked. A license may be renewed annually upon application and payment of fees. The application for renewal shall be accompanied by evidence satisfactory to the Board that the applicant has completed relevant professional or continued educational experience during the previous twenty-four (24) months. Failure to renew a license shall result in forfeiture of the rights and privileges granted by the license. A person whose license has expired may make application within one (1) year following the expiration in writing to the Board requesting reinstatement in a manner prescribed by the Board and payment of the fees required by the provisions of the Licensed Professional Counselors Act. The license of a person whose license has expired for more than one (1) year shall not be reinstated. A person may reapply for a new license as provided in Section 1906 of this title. C. A licensed professional counselor whose license is current and in good standing, who wishes to retire the license, may do so by informing the Board in writing and returning the license to the Office of Licensed Professional Counselors. A license so retired shall not be reinstated but does not prevent a person from applying for a new license at a future date.
