California Code of Regulations › Title 16 - Professional and Vocational Regulations › Division 39 - Board of Occupational Therapy › Article 3 - License and Limited Permit › Section 4120 - Renewal of License - Forms

Current through Register 2024 Notice Reg. No. 28, July 12, 2024
(a) The term of a license shall be two years.
(1) Unless renewed, a license issued by the
				board shall expire at 12 midnight on the last day of the holder's birth month
				during an odd year if the licensee was born in an odd year or during an even
				year, if the licensee was born in an even year. The initial license fee shall
				be prorated from the month of issuance based on the holder's birth month and
				birth year.
(2) To renew an
				unexpired license, the holder shall, before the time at which the license would
				otherwise expire, apply for renewal, pay the renewal fee, and certify that the
				licensee's representations on the renewal form are true, correct, and contain
				no material omissions of fact, signed under penalty of perjury.
(3) The renewal application shall include a
				statement specifying whether the licensee was convicted of a crime or
				disciplined by another public agency during the preceding renewal period, and
				whether the continuing competency requirements have been met if renewing in an
				active status.
(4) For a license
				that expires on or after July 1, 2010, as a condition of renewal, an applicant
				for renewal not previously fingerprinted by the board, or for whom a record of
				the submission of fingerprints no longer exists, is required to furnish to the
				Department of Justice, as directed by the board, a full set of fingerprints for
				the purpose of conducting a criminal history record check and to undergo a
				state and federal level criminal offender record information search conducted
				through the Department of Justice. Failure to submit a full set of fingerprints
				to the Department of Justice on or before the date required for renewal of a
				license is grounds for discipline by the board. It shall be certified on the
				renewal form whether the fingerprints have been submitted. This requirement is
				waived if the license is renewed in an inactive status, or the licensee is
				actively serving in the military outside the country.
(5) An inactive license may be
				renewed.
(6) Failure to provide all
				of the information required by this section renders any application for renewal
				incomplete and not eligible for renewal.

				  filing of an application for renewal, and payment of all accrued and unpaid
				  renewal fees. If a license is renewed after its expiration, the licensee, as a
				  condition precedent to renewal, shall also pay a delinquency fee. Renewal under
				  this section shall be effective on the date on which the application is
				  received by the Board, on the date on which the renewal fee is paid, or on the
				  date on which the delinquency fee, if any, is paid, whichever last occurs. If
				  so renewed, the license shall continue in effect through the expiration date
				  provided in section
				  4120, at which time, it shall
				  expire if it is not renewed.
