§  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.
