			 Each CCMC designation shall expire on December 31st of the year of the fifth
			 anniversary of its date of issuance. A renewal certificate shall be issued by
			 the Secretary to any person who is recommended for recertification by the
			 Committee. No person shall be recommended for recertification unless such
			 person has satisfied the continuing education requirements set forth in Section
			 12-130a-7 of the Regulations of Connecticut State Agencies.
(b) The Committee shall accept for
			 consideration each complete application for recertification. Such applications
			 shall be deemed complete if the applicant submits all necessary supporting
			 documentation and pays a recertification application fee of twenty (20)
			 dollars. The Committee shall annually review such fee, which shall be
			 non-refundable, and may increase or decrease such fee to reflect costs incurred
			 or expected. In no event shall the recertification application fee exceed
			 thirty (30) dollars. The Committee shall deny any application that fails to
			 include approved credit hour documentation as set forth in Section 12-130a-7 of
			 the Regulations of Connecticut State Agencies, is not submitted prior to the
			 applicant's certification expiration date or is submitted without the
			 appropriate fee.
(c) The Committee
			 shall consider each complete application for recertification at the next
			 regularly scheduled meeting following the date on which such application is
			 received. The Committee shall recommend to the Secretary each applicant who
			 satisfies the continuing education requirements set forth in Section 12-130a-7
			 of the Regulations of Connecticut State Agencies and to whom a renewal
			 certificate should be issued. Upon receipt of such recommendation, the
			 Secretary shall promptly issue a new certificate in such applicant's
			 name.
(d) In the event the
			 Committee denies an application for recertification, the Committee chair shall
			 send the applicant written notification of such denial not later than two (2)
			 days after the adjournment of such meeting. Such notice shall include
			 information as to how a reconsideration of such denial may be
			 requested.
(e) A person whose
			 application for recertification is denied may file a written request
			 reconsideration of the Committee's decision. Any such request, which shall
			 include the reason(s) why the appellant believes they should be recommended for
			 recertification, shall be sent to the Committee not later than twenty-one (21)
			 days after the date of the notice of denial. The Committee shall reconsider its
			 decision at the next regularly scheduled meeting following receipt of such
			 request, or at a special meeting called for such purpose.
(f) The Committee may require the appellant
			 to appear at such meeting to answer any pertinent questions or to supply any
			 additional information that may be required, provided the appellant is given
			 not less than forty-eight (48) hours' notice of the requirement to appear. The
			 Committee's decision with regard to any such reconsideration shall be final.
			 The Committee chair shall send the appellant written notification of such
			 decision not later than ten (10) days after the adjournment of such meeting and
			 shall forward a copy of such notification to the Secretary.
(g) A CCMC designee shall be deemed
			 uncertified when such designee's recertification application was not received
			 prior to the certificate's expiration date or when a denied application was not
			 rectified, resubmitted and approved. Any CCMC designee that fails to be
			 recertified shall immediately be deemed uncertified and will be required to
			 re-establish a new certification in accordance with Sections
			 12-130a-3 to
			 12-130a-6, inclusive, of the Regulations of Connecticut State
			 Agencies.
