No grace period: a license not renewed by the licensee's birthdate lapses and the nurse may not practice until reinstated ($100 renewal + $10 statutory reinstatement fee, 32 MRSA §2206). Practicing on a lapsed license draws a letter of concern if 90 days or less, or a consent agreement with a warning and $500 fine if 91 days or more, per the Board's official fee/fine schedule.Verify with board
