148H.11 RENEWAL OF LICENSE; LICENSE LAPSE.

Subdivision 1.Renewal requirements.

To be eligible for license renewal, a licensee must submit:

(1) a completed and signed application for license renewal on a form provided by the commissioner;

(2) the renewal fee required under section 148H.16;

(3) proof that the licensee has met and maintained the continuing education requirements under section 148H.10 and board certification as a board-certified music therapist; and

(4) additional information as requested by the commissioner to clarify information presented in the renewal application. The applicant for license renewal must submit any additional information requested by the commissioner within 30 calendar days of the request.

Subd. 2.Renewal deadline.

(a) Licenses must be renewed every two years. The effective date of a renewed license is the day following the expiration date of the expired license.

(b) Each license must state an expiration date.

(c) A completed application for license renewal must be received by the commissioner at least 30 days before the license expiration date.

(d) A completed application for license renewal not received within the time required under paragraph (c), but received on or before the expiration date, must be accompanied by a late fee in addition to the renewal fee in section 148H.16.

Subd. 3.Licensure renewal notice.

At least 60 calendar days before the expiration date in subdivision 2, the commissioner must send a renewal notice to the licensee's email address on file with the commissioner. The notice must include information on how to apply for licensure renewal and notice of fees required for renewal. The licensee's failure to receive the notice does not relieve the licensee of the obligation to meet the renewal deadline and other requirements for licensure renewal.

Subd. 4.Failure to renew.

(a) If a licensee fails to renew a license, the license lapses. The license may be restored within four years of the expiration date upon completion of the requirements in subdivision 1 and payment of the late fee in section 148H.16.

(b) A person who requests reinstatement of a lapsed license more than four years after the license expiration date is required to reapply for licensure as a new applicant and must comply with the requirements for new licensees at the time of application.
