There is no grace period. Once expired, a penalty of one-half the registration fee is added; after 90 days the penalty equals a full registration fee; a license expired one year or longer is automatically cancelled. A delinquent PA who practices is considered to be practicing without a license and may be prosecuted. The Board's policy is that the only administrative penalty is the statutory penalty fees.Verify with board

How compliance is checked

TMB conducts random CME audits after each registration period; 40 CME hours are required every 24 months (at least 20 Category I) and a licensee must provide CME documents if selected for audit.
