Current through Reg. 50, No. 138; July 16, 2024
(1) Certificates of registration shall be
				  renewed only after information has been provided to the Department that the
				  contractor has successfully completed 12 classroom hours of Department-approved
				  instruction within the previous 12-month period. However, if a registered
				  contractor successfully completes more hours of approved instruction than are
				  required for registration renewal within a 12-month period, a maximum of 6
				  unused hours can be rolled over to renew their next year's certificate of
				  registration. Such information shall be accompanied by necessary renewal fees
				  and a completed renewal application on Form DEP 4076, Application for Septic
				  Tank Contractor Registration Renewal.
(2) Any registration renewal application
				  which for any reason is not submitted in a timely and complete manner shall
				  revert to inactive status. Each application for renewal shall be considered
				  filed in a timely manner if the application has been postmarked prior to the
				  close of business on the date of expiration of the registration. If that date
				  falls on a weekend or legal holiday, the date of expiration shall be the first
				  working day after the expiration date on the certificate of
				  registration.
(3) A registered
				  contractor may request inactive status. Persons wishing to renew an inactive
				  registration must make application on Form DEP 4076 and substantiate 12
				  classroom hours of approved instruction for each year the registration was
				  considered inactive. Application must be accompanied by necessary exhibits and
				  renewal fees. Persons holding inactive registrations for more than five renewal
				  cycles from the date of inactivation who wish to become active may not renew
				  the inactive registration but shall seek new registration under Rule
				   62-6.019, F.A.C.
(4) The Department shall deny an application
				  for renewal if there is any outstanding administrative penalty with the
				  department where the penalty is final agency action and all judicial reviews
				  are exhausted.
(5) Approval of
				  continuing education courses and course providers will be in accordance with
				  the Department Policy on Requirements for Continuing Education Courses and
				  Course Providers, September 2006, (formerly from Department of Health), herein
				  incorporated by reference.
(6)
				  Beginning in 2004 and every 5 years thereafter, registration renewal
				  applications shall include a recent color passport style photograph 1 1/2'' x 1
				  1/2'' inches in size and not older than 12 months. The applicant may provide
				  the required photograph as a photographic print or in digital JPEG or TIFF
				  format.
