A 90-day late-renewal window after expiration permits renewal with the $300 late fee but does not extend the right to practice; practicing after expiration may subject the licensee to discipline. More than 90 days but fewer than 2 years: may reinstate with CE evidence and payment of fees. Two years or more: must satisfy new-license requirements.Verify with board
