Text

(a) All licenses shall expire annually on December 31 of
each year and shall be renewed by registration with the board
and payment of the registration renewal fee established and
published by the board. On December 1 of each year, the board
shall mail a notice to each licensed veterinarian that his
license will expire on December 31 and provide him with a form
for reregistration. The board shall issue annual certificates
of registration to all persons registering under this act.
(b) Any person who shall practice veterinary medicine
after the expiration of his license and willfully or by neglect
fail to renew such license shall be practicing in violation of
this act. The board may, by rule establish a grace period for
license renewal not to exceed sixty (60) days and establish a
late fee for license renewal which shall not exceed the annual
renewal fee. At the discretion of the board, any person not
practicing in the state may renew an expired license within five
(5) years of the date of its expiration by making written
application for renewal and paying the current renewal fee plus
a late fee and all delinquent renewal fees. After five (5) years
have elapsed since the date of the expiration, a license may not
be renewed, but the holder must make application for a new
license.
(c) The board may by rule waive the payment of the
registration renewal fee of a licensed veterinarian during the
period when he is on active duty with any branch of the armed
services of the United States, not to exceed the longer of three
(3) years or the duration of a national emergency.
(d) The board shall issue a duplicate license to replace
one that has been lost or otherwise rendered unusable upon
payment of a fee set by rule of the board. Such duplicate
license shall be so designated.
(e) The renewal under subsection (a) of this section shall
be accompanied by evidence satisfactory to the board of
compliance with this chapter and completion of continuing
education activities as established by rules and regulations of
the board. The board shall require three (3) hours of continuing
education related to the responsible prescribing of controlled
substances every two (2) years.
