§ 33-47-107 — License renewal, revocation; hearings

(a) A licensed dietitian shall renew the license every two
(2) years. The board shall notify and provide applications for
renewal to licensed dietitians at least sixty (60) calendar days
prior to expiration of the license. A licensee seeking renewal
shall complete the application for renewal and return it to the
board with the renewal fee at least fifteen (15) days before the
license expiration date. The renewal request shall be
accompanied by evidence satisfactory to the board that the
licensee has complied with this act and completed any applicable
continuing education requirements.
(b) Upon receipt of the application for renewal and the
fee, the board shall promptly verify its contents and issue a
renewal license.
(c) A licensee who fails to submit a timely application
for renewal may be reinstated by the board upon payment of the
renewal fee and reinstatement fee established by the board
provided that the request for reinstatement is made within
ninety (90) days of the license expiration date.
(d) A licensed dietitian who does not engage in the
practice of dietetics following expiration of the dietitian's
license is not required to pay the renewal fee and shall be
deemed inactive. If an inactive licensee desires to resume the
practice of dietetics, the license shall be reissued upon
application to the board, payment of renewal and reinstatement
fees and submission of evidence that the applicant satisfies the
current requirements for licensure.
(e) Fees received by the board and any monies collected
under this act shall be deposited and credited to the board as
provided in W.S. 33-1-202.
(f) The board may revoke, suspend or refuse to renew any
license or permit or place on probation, reprimand a licensee or
deny a license to an applicant if it finds that the person:
(i) Is guilty of fraud or deceit in procuring or
attempting to procure a license or renewal of license to
practice dietetics;
(ii) Is unfit or incompetent by reason of negligence,
habits or other causes of incompetency as defined in the rules
and regulations of the board;
(iii) Is addicted to a drug or intoxicant to a degree
that renders the licensee unsafe or unfit to practice dietetics;
(iv) Is guilty of unprofessional conduct as defined
by rules of the board, or has violated the code of ethics
adopted and published by the board;
(v) Has practiced dietetics under cover of any permit
or license illegally or fraudulently obtained or issued, or
under a license that has expired or been suspended;
(vi) Has violated or aided or abetted others in
violation of any provision of this act.
(g) Upon filing of written complaint with the board
charging a person with having been guilty of any of the acts
prohibited by this act, the executive director or other
authorized employee of the board shall conduct an appropriate
investigation. If the board finds reasonable grounds to
substantiate the allegations of the complaint, the board may
refuse to grant, revoke, suspend or restrict the license of an
applicant or licensee.
(h) The applicant or licensee shall be afforded an
opportunity for a hearing on the board's action under subsection
(f) or (g) of this section. Notices, hearings and appeals shall
be in accordance with the Wyoming Administrative Procedure Act.
The board may issue subpoenas for the attendance of witnesses
and the production of necessary evidence in any hearing before
it. Upon request of the respondent or his counsel, the board
shall issue subpoenas on behalf of the respondent.
