hereafter provided. The board shall mail notices and
applications for renewal at least sixty (60) calendar days prior
to expiration for renewal of licenses to every person to whom a
license was issued or renewed during the preceding renewal
period. The licensee shall complete the application for renewal
and return it to the board with the renewal fee set by the board
in accordance with W.S. 33-1-201 before the date of expiration.
(b) Upon receipt of the application for renewal and the
fee, the board shall verify its contents and shall issue the

the period stated thereon. The board may establish continuing
education requirements for annual renewal of the license.
(c) A licensee who allows his license to lapse by failing
to renew it, may be reinstated by the board upon payment of the
renewal fee and reinstatement fee set by the board in accordance
with W.S. 33-1-201 provided that the request for reinstatement
is made within thirty (30) days of the end of the renewal
period.
(d) A respiratory care practitioner who does not engage in
the practice of respiratory care during the succeeding renewal

respiratory care, he shall notify the board of his intent and
shall satisfy the current requirements of the board in addition
to remitting the renewal fee for the current renewal period and
the reinstatement fee.
(e) The board is authorized to establish reasonable fees
for replacement and duplicate licenses.
