Practicing after November 30 of odd-numbered years without renewal constitutes unlawful practice and grounds for discipline. Licenses not renewed before the end of the two-year penalty period may only be reinstated ($600 reinstatement fee; CE required: 12 CEH per calendar year in the two calendar years before the reinstatement application, or 24 CEH in the two years immediately preceding). The Board may levy fines of $100-$5,000 per Miss. Code Ann. 73-1-29.Verify with board

How compliance is checked

Board conducts CE audits; licensees certify CE at renewal and must substantiate hours on request; disallowed hours get a 60-day substantiation/cure opportunity.
