  § 59-145. Renewal of licenses - Fees - Suspension on nonpayment - Reinstatement - Records.  

Latest version.

  • A.  Each license to practice podiatric medicine shall be renewed by June 30 of even-numbered years.  Such license shall entitle the licensee to practice podiatric medicine in this state as defined by law and to hold himself/herself out as a licensed podiatric physician, doctor of podiatric medicine or podiatrist as long as lawfully renewed, unless suspended or revoked as authorized by law.

    B.  Upon application and payment of required fees, and upon first satisfying the Board of Podiatric Medical Examiners that the licensee is not at the time violating any applicable law or any of the rules of the Board or the Code of Ethics, and upon showing proof of compliance with Section 145.1 of this title, a licensee shall be entitled to have his/her license to practice podiatric medicine renewed until June 30 of the following even-numbered year.

    C.  A license not renewed in the time and manner required by this section shall become inactive and the licensee may not practice as a licensed podiatric physician, doctor of podiatric medicine or podiatrist.  The license may be renewed on or before September 30 following the June 30 deadline by payment of the delinquent renewal fee upon satisfying the Board of compliance with subsection B of this section.  After that September 30 and on or before the close of June 30 of the next even-numbered year, the license may be reinstated upon satisfying the Board of compliance with subsection B of this section and upon the payment first of the delinquent renewal fee, plus such additional penalty as the Board imposes, not to exceed in all four times the delinquent fee.  Any license to practice podiatric medicine not reinstated in such time shall become void at the close of June 30 of the next even-numbered year; and thereafter it shall not be renewed or reinstated.

    D.  The renewal fee shall be such sum as the Board from time to time sets.  Upon the timely payment of the renewal fee or the reinstatement fee, as the case may be, the secretary-treasurer of the Board shall provide to the licensee such certificate of renewal or reinstatement as the Board shall direct, which shall operate to renew or reinstate the license, as the case may be, until June 30 of the next even-numbered year, after which it must be renewed again or be reinstated in the same time and manner to continue to be effective.

    E.  The secretary-treasurer of the Board shall keep a license record showing each license issued by the Board, the name and last mailing address furnished to said secretary-treasurer by each licensee, the year of issuance of the license, whether by examination or otherwise, the renewals, reinstatements, suspensions and revocations thereof, and the fact as to whether the license be in force or suspended or void.  Such record as to any license, or a copy thereof certified to by said secretary-treasurer as complete and true as to the license in question, shall constitute prima facie evidence of the recitals therein and the fact disclosed thereby as to whether the license described is in force or suspended or void.
