(1)All optometrists desiring to continue practice shall annually, prior to March 1,
secure from the secretary-treasurer of the board a renewal certificate upon the
payment of a fee which shall be established by administrative regulation
promulgated by the board. Not later than February 15 of each year, the board
shall notify by mail all optometrists of the renewal date and fee. Application for
a renewal shall be upon a form prescribed by the board and the optometrist
shall furnish the information required by the form.
(2)As a prerequisite for license renewal, all optometrists now or hereafter licensed
in the Commonwealth of Kentucky are and shall be required to take annual
courses of study in subjects relating to the practice of optometry to the end that
the utilization and application of new techniques, scientific and clinical
advances, and the achievement of research will assure expansive and
comprehensive care to the public. The length and content of study shall be
prescribed by the board but shall not exceed eight
(8)hours in any calendar
year, with the exception of those optometrists who are authorized to prescribe
therapeutic agents who shall be required to have additional credit hours of
continuing education in ocular therapy and pharmacology, the amount of
required credit hours to be determined by the board, but not to exceed an
additional seventeen
(17)credit hours, for a total not to exceed twenty-five
credit hours per year. Attendance shall be at a course or by a sponsor
approved by the board. Attendance at any course or courses of study is to be
certified to the board upon a form provided by the board and shall be submitted
by each licensed optometrist at the time he makes application to the board for
the renewal of his license and payment of his renewal fee. The board may
waive the continuing education requirement in cases of illness or undue
hardship.
(3)Failure of any optometrist to secure his renewal certificate within sixty
days after March 1, shall constitute sufficient cause for the board to revoke his
license.
