(a) (1) Each licensed hearing instrument specialist shall pay to the council a biennial renewal fee as set by the council, payable in advance, for the ensuing two (2) years. (2) The council shall notify each licensee that such renewal is due. (b) As a condition of renewal, the licensee shall be reexamined by the council and shall pay a reexamination fee as set by the council or shall submit verification of compliance of continuing education requirements as may be set by the council. The reexamination shall consist of all of the areas required pursuant to § 63-17-210 . (c) When any licensed hearing instrument specialist fails to pay the license fee within sixty (60) days after it becomes due, as provided in this section, the license of such person is automatically revoked at the expiration of the sixty (60) days after the renewal fee was required, without further notice or hearing. (d) Any person whose license is automatically revoked as provided in § 63-17-219 may make application in writing to the council for the reinstatement of such license; and, upon good cause being shown, the council, in its discretion, may reinstate such license upon payment of all past due renewal fees and upon further payment of a sum set by the council. (e) Any person licensed to practice by this part who has retired or may hereafter retire from such practice in this state shall not be made to register as required by this part if such person files with this council an affidavit on a form to be furnished by the council, which affidavit states the date on which such person retired from such practice and such other facts as tend to verify such retirement as the council deems necessary. If such person thereafter reengages in such practice in this state, such person shall apply for registration with the council as provided by this part and shall meet other requirements as may be set by the council. (f) (1) Notwithstanding this part to the contrary, the division, with the approval of the commissioner, shall establish a system of license renewals at alternative intervals that will allow for the distribution of the license workload as uniformly as is practicable throughout the calendar year. Licenses issued under the alternative method are valid for twenty-four (24) months and expire on the last day of the last month of the license period. However, during a transition period, or at any time thereafter when the council determines that the volume of work for any given interval is unduly burdensome or costly, either the licenses 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 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 twenty-five cents (25¢). (2) No renewal application will be accepted after the last day of the month following the license expiration date under the alternative method authorized in this subsection (f).
