     148.5191 Registration renewal. 

    Subdivision 1.    Renewal requirements.  To renew 
 registration, an applicant must:  

    (1) biennially complete a renewal application on a form 
 provided by the commissioner and submit the biennial renewal 
 fee; 

    (2) meet the continuing education requirements of section 
 148.5193 and submit evidence of attending continuing education 
 courses, as required in section 148.5193, subdivision 6; and 

    (3) submit additional information if requested by the 
 commissioner to clarify information presented in the renewal 
 application.  The information must be submitted within 30 days 
 after the commissioner's request.  

    Subd. 2.    Late fee.  An application submitted after 
 the renewal deadline date must be accompanied by a late fee as 
 provided in section 148.5194, subdivision 4.  

    Subd. 3.    Registration renewal notice.  Registration 
 renewal is on a biennial basis.  At least 60 days before the 
 registration expiration date, the commissioner shall send out a 
 renewal notice to the registrant's last known address.  The 
 notice shall include a renewal application and notice of fees 
 required for renewal.  If the registrant does not receive the 
 renewal notice, the registrant is still required to meet the 
 deadline for renewal to qualify for continuous registered status.

    Subd. 4.    Renewal deadline.  Each registration 
 certificate, including a temporary registration certificate 
 provided under section 148.5161, must state an expiration date.  
 An application for registration renewal must be received by the 
 department of health or postmarked at least 30 days before the 
 expiration date.  If the postmark is illegible, the application 
 shall be considered timely if received at least 21 days before 
 the expiration date.  

    When the commissioner establishes the renewal schedule for 
 an applicant, registrant, or temporary registrant, if the period 
 before the expiration date is less than two years, the fee shall 
 be prorated.
