Hygienist licenses expire June 30 every third year; a license not renewed by July 1 is expired. Late renewal (July 1–September 1) requires the triennial fee, impaired fee, $100 late fee, and $5-per-day cumulative late fee from August 1. Practicing on an expired license is subject to board discipline and a $200 reinstatement fee.Verify with board
