Missouri Code of State Regulations › Title 20 - DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE AND INSURANCE › Division 2234 - Board of Private Investigator and Private Fire Investigator Examiners › Chapter 2 - General Rules › Section 20 CSR 2234-2.040 - Licensure Renewal

Current through Register Vol. 49, No. 14, July 15, 2024
PURPOSE: This rule establishes licensure renewal requirements
				  for private investigators and private fire investigators.
(1) A license shall be renewed prior to the
				expiration of the license. Failure to receive a license renewal notice shall
				not relieve the licensee of the obligation to renew the license and pay the
				required fee prior to the expiration date of the license. Renewals shall be
				postmarked no later than the expiration date of the license to avoid the late
				penalty fee as defined in
				20 CSR 2234-1.050. Private
				investigators must maintain compliance with continuing education according to
				20 CSR
				2234-6.010. Private fire investigators must maintain
				and provide proof of active certification as a fire investigator issued by the
				Missouri Division of Fire Safety, which shall also constitute proof of
				compliance with continuing education requirements.
(2) Private investigators who request to be
				classified as inactive may maintain their inactive status and receive a license
				indicating their inactive status by paying the inactive license renewal fee as
				provided in
				20 CSR 2234-1.050. Holders
				of an inactive license need not complete the continuing education requirement.
				However, a holder of an inactive license shall not have his or her license
				reactivated until he or she pays the required reactivation fee, and in
				addition, submits proof of having completed the required continuing education
				hours within the two (2) years immediately prior to the date of reactivation.
				If the holder of an inactive license reactivates at the time of renewal, the
				licensee shall only be required to pay the renewal fee, and in addition, submit
				proof of the required continuing education hours.
(3) Private fire investigators who request to
				be classified as inactive may maintain their inactive status and receive a
				license indicating their inactive status by paying the inactive license renewal
				fee as provided in
				20 CSR 2234-1.050. Holders
				of an inactive license need not complete the continuing education requirement.
				However, a holder of an inactive license shall not have his or her license
				reactivated until he or she pays the required reactivation fee, and in
				addition, submits proof of an active certification as a fire investigator
				issued by the Missouri Division of Fire Safety, which shall also constitute
				proof of continuing education. If a holder of an inactive private fire
				investigator license reactivates at the time of renewal, the licensee shall
				only be required to pay the renewal fee, and in addition, submit proof of an
				active certification as a fire investigator issued by the Missouri Division of
				Fire Safety.
