A $150 delinquent fee applies if the license is not renewed within 30 days of expiration. A license may be renewed up to 4 years after expiration by paying all accumulated renewal and delinquent fees with CE proof; after 4 years it is expired and not renewable. Practicing on a delinquent license is unlicensed practice subject to discipline.Verify with board
