A licensee who applies for and is approved for a different license must pay the difference between the license fees for the two licenses, prorated from the date of the board approval of the new license to the expiration date of the initial or the renewed license, and return the license certificate and license card for the first license. The effective date of the new license is the day on which the board receives the correct and payable prorated difference in the license fees and the license certificate and license card. Upon receipt of the correct and payable fee and the license certificate and license card, the board shall issue a new license certificate and license card appropriate to the new license. The licensee shall retain the same license number.

B.

The expiration date of the new license shall be the same date as the expiration date of the initial or renewed license held prior to the change in license. The licensee must document compliance with the continuing education requirements of part 8740.0200 by the expiration date as if there had been no change in license. The new license may be renewed consistent with this part and part 8740.0200.
