Under the Bureau of Professional Licensing's general renewal policy, a license not renewed by expiration may be renewed within a 60-day grace period; after the grace period the license lapses. A lapsed licensee may no longer practice or identify as licensed. Practicing without a valid license is a felony under the Michigan Public Health Code and can trigger legal proceedings and disciplinary action. (Replaces the nursing FAQ with a michigan.gov BPL FAQ stating the Bureau's general policy; the prior record's '$20 late fee' was from the nursing FAQ and was removed pending PA-specific verification.)Verify with board
