(1)Each licensee licensed under the provisions of KRS 227A.010 to 227A.140 shall
biennially, on or before the last day of the licensee's birth month in the second year,
pay to the department a renewal fee as established in administrative regulations
promulgated by the department. Any license issued or renewed on or after July 15,
2024, shall be a biennial license, and for the biennial payment, the renewal fee shall
be doubled to cover both years.
(2)A sixty
(60)day grace period shall be allowed after the expiration date of the
license, during which time a licensee may continue to practice and may renew his
or her license upon payment of the renewal fee plus a late renewal fee as
promulgated by administrative regulation of the department.
(3)A license not renewed before the end of the sixty
(60)day grace period shall
terminate based on the failure of the licensee to renew in a timely manner. Upon
termination, the licensee is no longer eligible to practice in the Commonwealth.
(4)After the sixty
(60)day grace period, a former licensee with a terminated license
may have the license reinstated upon payment of the renewal fee plus a
reinstatement fee as promulgated by administrative regulation of the department.

to submit to any examination as a condition for reinstatement, if the reinstatement
application is made within three
(3)years from the date of termination.

as provided in this section. Renewal shall not entitle the licensee to engage in the
practice until the suspension has ended or is otherwise removed by the department
and the right to practice is restored by the department.

(1)of this
section.
