A.  Licenses shall be renewed annually by paying the required renewal fee to the State Board of Medical Licensure and Supervision on or before the renewal date specified by the Board.  The Board shall promulgate rules setting forth fees for initial licensure and license renewal and may adopt a renewal system requiring all renewals to occur in a specified month of the year regardless of the date of initial licensure.

B.  If a person's license has been expired for not more than ninety (90) days, the person may renew the license by paying to the Board the required renewal fee and a penalty fee that is one-half (1/2) the renewal fee.

C.  If a license has been expired for more than ninety (90) days but less than one (1) year, the person may renew the license by paying to the Board all unpaid renewal fees and a penalty fee that is equal to the renewal fee.

D.  If a license has been expired one (1) year or more, the license may not be renewed.  A new license may be obtained by submitting to reexamination and complying with the current requirements and procedures for obtaining a license.
