148.6367 REGISTRATION RENEWAL.

Subdivision 1.Expiration of registration.

Registrations issued according to sections 148.636 to 148.6377 expire two years from the date of issuance.

Subd. 2.Renewal.

To be eligible for registration renewal, an applicant must every two years, or as determined by the commissioner, submit to the commissioner:

(1) a completed renewal application on a form provided by the commissioner;

(2) any applicable fees specified in section 148.6377;

(3) proof of current professional liability coverage with at least $2,000,000 of coverage per occurrence and $6,000,000 annual aggregate; and

(4) any additional information requested by the commissioner to clarify information presented in the renewal application. The applicant must submit the information within 30 days after the commissioner's request, or the renewal application is canceled.

Subd. 3.Change of address.

A registrant or applicant who changes addresses must inform the commissioner in writing within 30 days of the change of address. Notices or other correspondence mailed to or served on a registrant or applicant at the registrant's or applicant's current address on file are considered received by the registrant or applicant.

Subd. 4.Registration renewal notice.

(a) At least 60 days before the registration's expiration date, the commissioner shall send out a renewal notice to the registrant. The notice must include:

(1) a renewal application;

(2) a notice of fees required for renewal; and

(3) information stating that the registration will expire without further action by the commissioner if a renewal application is not received before the deadline for renewal.

(b) The registrant's failure to receive the renewal notice does not relieve the registrant of the obligation to meet the deadline and other requirements for registration renewal. Failure to receive the notice is not grounds for challenging expiration of the registration.

Subd. 5.Renewal deadline.

The renewal application and fee must be received by the commissioner or must be postmarked before the registration's expiration date. If the postmark is illegible, the application is timely if received by the third working day after the deadline.

Subd. 6.Inactive status and return to active status.

(a) A registration may be placed in inactive status upon application to the commissioner by the registrant and upon payment of an inactive status fee as specified in section 148.6377. Failure to pay the annual inactive status fee shall result in a lapse of registration.

(b) A registrant seeking registration restoration to active status from inactive status must:

(1) apply to the commissioner for registration renewal according to subdivision 2;

(2) submit the applicable reactivation fee as specified in section 148.6377; and

(3) if the registration has been in inactive status for more than five years, submit evidence of having received a passing score on a credentialing examination.

Subd. 7.Registration following lapse for two years or less.

To regain active registration status for a registration that has lapsed for two years or less, the applicant must:

(1) apply to the commissioner for registration renewal according to subdivision 2; and

(2) submit all applicable renewal fees for the period not registered, including the fee for late renewal.

Subd. 8.Cancellation due to nonrenewal.

The commissioner shall not renew, reissue, reinstate, or restore a registration that has lapsed and has not been renewed within two years. An individual whose registration is canceled for nonrenewal must obtain a new registration by applying for registration and fulfilling all requirements under section 148.6366, subdivision 1, for initial registration as a massage therapist or Asian bodywork therapist.
