SECTIONS 2535-2535.4 - California Statutes

BUSINESS AND PROFESSIONS CODE

SECTION 2535-2535.4

2535. (a) All licenses issued as of January 1, 1992, shall expire
at 12 a.m. of the last date of the birth month of the licensee during
the second year of a two-year term if not renewed.
(b) All licenses issued under this chapter, except those licenses
issued pursuant to subdivision (a), shall expire at 12 a.m. of the
last date of the birth month of the licensee during the second year
of a two-year term, if not renewed.
(c) To renew an unexpired license, the licensee shall, on or
before the date of expiration of the license, apply for renewal on a
form provided by the board, accompanied by the prescribed renewal
fee.

2535.2. Except as provided in Section 2535.3, a license that has
expired may be renewed at any time within five years after its
expiration upon filing of an application for renewal on a form
prescribed by the board and payment of all accrued and unpaid renewal
fees. If the license is not renewed on or before its expiration, the
licensee, as a condition precedent to renewal, shall also pay the
prescribed delinquency fee. Renewal under this section shall be
effective on the date on which the application is filed, on the date
on which all renewal fees are paid, or on the date on which the
delinquency fee is paid, whichever last occurs. If so renewed, the
license shall continue in effect through the expiration date provided
in Section 2535, after the effective date of the renewal, when it
shall expire and become invalid if it is not again renewed.

2535.4. A person who fails to renew his or her license within the
five years after its expiration may not renew it, and it may not be
restored, reissued, or reinstated thereafter, but that person may
apply for and obtain a new license if he or she meets all of the
following requirements:
(a) Has not committed any acts or crimes constituting grounds for
denial of licensure under Division 1.5 (commencing with Section 475).
(b) Takes and passes the examination or examinations, if any,
which would be required of him or her if an initial application for
licensure was being made, or otherwise establishes to the
satisfaction of the board that, with due regard for the public
interest, he or she is qualified to practice as a speech-language
pathologist or audiologist, as the case may be.
(c) Pays all of the fees that would be required if an initial
application for licensure was being made. In addition, the board may
charge the applicant a fee to cover the actual costs of any
examination that it may administer.
