§ 17-40-313 - License -- Expiration and renewal. - Arkansas Statutes

17-40-313. License -- Expiration and renewal.

(a) Licenses issued under this chapter expire one (1) year after the date of issuance if not renewed. To renew an unexpired license, the licensee, on or before the date on which it would otherwise expire, shall apply for renewal on a form prescribed by the Arkansas Board of Private Investigators and Private Security Agencies, and pay the renewal fee prescribed by this chapter. On renewal, a renewal license shall be issued to the licensee.

(b) Renewal of a license shall not prohibit the bringing of disciplinary proceedings for an act committed before the effective date of the renewal.

(c) A suspended license is subject to expiration and shall be renewed as provided in this chapter. However, renewal does not entitle the licensee, while the license remains suspended and until it is reinstated, to engage in the licensed activity or in any other activity or conduct in violation of the order or judgment by which the license was suspended.

(d) It shall be unlawful for a suspended license holder or its employee to operate while the license is suspended.

(e) A license which is not renewed within two (2) years after its expiration may not be renewed, restored, reinstated, or reissued thereafter.

(f) The holder of the license may obtain a new license only on compliance with all of the provisions of this chapter relating to the issuance of an original license.
