312.175 Annual renewal of licenses -- Educational requirements -- Renewal notices

to licensees -- Failure to renew -- Restoration of licenses.

(1) Each person licensed to practice chiropractic in this state shall, on or before the first

day of March, annually renew his license and pay a renewal fee of not more than

one hundred dollars ($100) for each inactive licensee and not more than five

hundred dollars ($500) for each active licensee each year to the board. In addition to

the payment of the renewal fee, the active licensee applying for a license renewal

shall furnish to the board satisfactory evidence that he has attended an educational

program in the year preceding each application for renewal. Satisfactory evidence of

attendance of postgraduate study at an institution approved by the board shall be

considered equivalent. Provided, however, that licenses may be renewed by the

board, at its discretion, and the applicant may be excused from paying the renewal

fee or attending the annual educational program, or both, in instances where the

applicant submits an affidavit to the board evidencing that he, for good cause

assigned, suffered a hardship which prevented the applicant from renewing the

license or attending the educational program at the proper time.

(2) The board shall send a written notice to every person holding a valid license to

practice chiropractic within this state at least forty-five (45) days prior to the first

day of March in each year, directed to the last known address of the licensee, and

shall enclose with the notice proper blank forms for application for annual license

renewal. The board shall, within forty-five (45) days, notify every person failing to

renew his license after it is due that he is delinquent and is subject to a late penalty

of three hundred dollars ($300). If the licensee fails to renew his license within

forty-five (45) days after the mailing of the delinquent notice then his license shall

be revoked for nonrenewal. Any licensee whose license has been revoked for failure

to renew his license may have his license restored upon the payment of a restoration

fee not to exceed five hundred dollars ($500) for each delinquent year or any part

thereof in addition to the renewal fee of not more than five hundred dollars ($500)

and upon presentation of satisfactory evidence of postgraduate study of a standard

approved by the state board or upon a showing that he is an exception as provided

for in subsection (1) of this section.

(3) Any licensee whose license has been revoked for less than four (4) years, may not

apply for a license pursuant to KRS 312.085. The licensee may only apply for

restoration pursuant to subsection (2) of this section.

(4) Any licensee whose license has been revoked for more than four (4) years may

apply for a license by examination, as long as the licensee pays a restoration fee not

to exceed five hundred dollars ($500) for each delinquent year, or any part thereof,

in addition to the renewal fee of not less than five hundred dollars ($500) and not

more than three thousand dollars ($3,000).
