§ 20-9-612 — License renewal - Continuing education - Notification of change of address

(a) Each person licensed pursuant to this part shall apply for renewal of the license pursuant to dates established by the board. A renewal fee in an amount determined by the board shall be paid for renewal of the license for a two-year period. (b) The board shall require specific continuing education as a condition for license renewal. In order to maintain licensure, all licensed court reporters and holders of a nonresident certificate will be required to obtain a minimum of two (2.0) continuing education credits over a two-year period in courses approved by the board or in compliance with the continuing education requirements of approved national or state associations. The two-year period will begin on July 1 of the year during which the reporter is initially licensed. No credits may be carried over to the following two-year term. The continuing education requirements described in this subsection (b) are waived in the case of renewals of initial licenses held for less than one (1) year. (c) The board may provide for the late renewal of a license that has lapsed and may require the payment of a late fee or an examination, or both, prior to issuing a renewal license. (d) Licensees shall notify the board in writing of any change of address within thirty (30) days of the change.
