(a)Notwithstanding Section 1301, an application for the renewal of, and payment of the renewal fees for, a cytotechnologist license shall be governed by this section.
(b)Application for renewal of a cytotechnologist license, accompanied by the fee set forth in Section 1300, shall be filed with the department not less than 30 days prior to the expiration date.
(c)If the renewal fee is not paid during the 30 days prior to the expiration date, the license shall automatically expire at midnight on the expiration date. However, a cytotechnologist who has failed to timely pay a renewal fee may have his or her license reinstated, without completing a competency testing program, provided that he or she mails to the department a written request for reinstatement postmarked no later than the 60th day after the expiration date of the license and a reinstatement fee equal to two times the annual renewal fee set forth in Section 1300. The license shall be reinstated on the date the request for reinstatement and fee are received by the department. If the request for reinstatement and fee are received prior to the expiration date of the license, there shall be no lapse in licensure. No cytotechnologist shall perform services for which a license or certification is required under this chapter during any period for which licensure or certification has lapsed.
