§30-17-11. Application; fees; renewals, etc.

The board shall prescribe and provide an application form for use of all applicants. Applicants for registration as sanitarians shall deposit a fee of twenty dollars, and applicants for registration as sanitarians-in-training shall deposit a fee of twenty dollars, at the time of making application for registration. The board may also assess an additional fee for the cost of the examination when deemed necessary. Should the board deny the issuance of a certificate to any applicant, the initial fee deposited shall be retained as a fee for processing and evaluating the application.

All sanitarians and sanitarians-in-training registered under the provisions of this article may renew their certificates by paying the board an annual renewal fee of twenty dollars and proof of fifteen hours of continuing education hours. These hours are to be earned annually and the courses approved by the board (excluding retirees of an official health department). Said fee and proof of educational hours shall be due and payable on or before the first day of July for which a renewal certificate for the current year shall be issued. All certificates shall expire on the renewal date unless renewed prior to such date. Registrations expired for failure to pay renewal fees may be reinstated only upon the payment of all lapsed renewal fees up to five years and submit to training approved by the board if in excess of five years.
