(a) Each licensed psychologist, licensed psychological examiner, licensed senior psychological examiner, certified psychological assistant, or certified psychological testing technician shall pay an annual registration fee as set annually by the board, payable in advance, for the ensuing year. As a condition of renewal, the board may require that the licensee or certified person establish that the licensee or certified person has satisfied any continuing education requirements established by board rule. (b) (1) When any licensee or certified person shall fail to pay the annual fee after the renewal fee becomes due and satisfy such continuing education requirements for renewal as may be established by the board, as provided in this section, the license or certificate of such person shall be automatically revoked by the board without further notice or hearing, unless renewal is completed and all fees paid prior to the expiration of sixty (60) days from the date such renewal fees become due. (2) Any person whose license or certificate is automatically revoked as provided in this section may make application in writing to the board for the reinstatement of such license or certificate; and upon good cause being shown, the board, in its discretion, may reinstate such license or certificate upon payment of all past due annual registration fees, proof that any continuing education renewal requirement established by the board has been satisfied and upon further payment of a sum to be set by the board. (c) Any person licensed or certified to practice by this chapter who has retired or may hereafter retire from such practice in this state shall not be made to register as required by this chapter if such person shall file with this board an affidavit on a form to be furnished by the board, which affidavit shall state the date on which such person retired from such practice and such other facts as shall tend to verify such retirement as the board shall deem necessary. If such person thereafter reengages in such practice in this state, such person shall apply for registration with the board as provided by this chapter and shall meet other requirements as may be set by the board. (d) (1) Notwithstanding this chapter to the contrary, the division, with the approval of the commissioner, shall establish a system of license or certification renewals at alternative intervals that will allow for the distribution of the license or certification workload as uniformly as is practicable throughout the calendar year. Licenses or certificates issued under the alternative method are valid for twenty-four (24) months and shall expire on the last day of the last month of the license or certification period. However, during a transition period, or at any time thereafter, when the board shall determine that the volume of work for any given interval is unduly burdensome or costly, either the licenses or certificates or renewals, or both of them, may be issued for terms of not less than six (6) months nor more than eighteen (18) months. The fee imposed for any license or certificate under the alternative interval method for a period of other than twenty-four (24) months shall be proportionate to the annual fee and modified in no other manner, except that the proportional fee shall be rounded off to the nearest quarter of a dollar (25¢). (2) No renewal application will be accepted after the last day of the month following the license or certification expiration date under the alternative method authorized in this subsection (d).
