§  2896-g.  Registration.  1.  Every licensee must register biennially   with the department. The department shall mail to every person  who  has   received   a   license  under  this  article  an  application  form  for   registration  requesting  such  information  as  the   board   and   the   commissioner  may  require.  Such licensee shall promptly fill out, sign   and forward such application to the department, together with a  fee  of   forty dollars; however, initial registration shall not require such fee.   Upon  receipt  and  approval of such application and fee, the department   shall issue a certificate of  biennial  registration.  The  commissioner   shall  establish  by  rule  and  regulation  the  beginning  date of the   biennial registration period.   In  the  event  that  a  change  in  the   established  beginning date of the biennial registration period requires   an adjustment in the duration of a registration period, there shall be a   proportionate adjustment in the prescribed fee.2. Licensees who apply for registration subsequent to the  first  year   of  any  biennial registration period shall pay a fee of twenty dollars;   however, initial registration shall not require such fee;  upon  receipt   and  approval  of such application and fee, the department shall issue a   certificate of registration for the balance of the biennial registration   period.3. Registration  subsequent  to  the  thirty-first  day  of  December,   nineteen hundred seventy-three, shall require satisfactory completion of   such  continuation  education  programs or courses of study as the board   shall determine are required  to  assure  the  licensee's  retention  of   professional  competence  in nursing home administration and development   of necessary different, new  or  advanced  nursing  home  administration   skills and techniques.4.  A  nursing  home  administrator who fails or neglects to apply for   registration  before  the  first  day  of  the  next  ensuing   biennial   registration  period as required by the provisions of this section shall   be required to pay for registration an additional fee  of  five  dollars   for each month or part thereof that he is in default, provided, however,   that  the  additional  fee  shall  not  be  more than one hundred twenty   dollars.5. A practicing nursing home administrator  who  fails  to  apply  and   qualify  for  registration  before  the  first  day  of the next ensuing   biennial registration period, shall be  an  illegal  practitioner  whose   license  may be suspended or revoked and who may be subjected to a civil   penalty, censured or reprimanded by the board  in  accordance  with  the   provisions of this article.6.  No  person  shall  be  entitled  to  register  as  a  nursing home   administrator unless he shall hold a license as  provided  for  in  this   article.  Every unrevoked certificate of registration issued as provided   in this article shall be presumptive evidence in all courts  and  places   that the person named therein is legally registered.7.  A nursing home administrator who has been heretofore duly licensed   and registered to practice in this state whose license  shall  not  have   been  revoked or suspended, and who either before or after registration,   as required by  this  section,  shall  have  temporarily  abandoned  the   practice of nursing home administration and surrendered his registration   certificate,  may  reregister  within this state upon complying with the   provisions of this section for registration, including  payment  of  any   fees due as of the date of surrender.8.  Upon  receipt  of  satisfactory  evidence  that  a  certificate of   registration has been lost, mutilated or destroyed, the  department  may   issue  a  duplicate  certificate  upon  such terms and conditions as the   board shall prescribe with the approval of the  commissioner,  and  upon   the payment of a fee of ten dollars.
