Current through all regulations passed and filed through July 1, 2024
(A) An applicant for a license as a nursing
			 home administrator who has complied with the requirements of Chapter 4751. of
			 the Revised Code and Chapter 4751-1 of the Administrative Code, including
			 passing the examinations and paying the original license fee of two hundred
			 fifty dollars, shall be issued a license certifying that such individual is
			 entitled to practice as a licensed nursing home administrator under Chapter
			 4751. of the Revised Code, unless the board is prohibited from doing so
			 pursuant to section 4751.35 of the Revised
			 Code.
(B) Every licensee shall
			 
								biennially register with the board. The application
			 for renewal shall contain such information as may be specified by the board,
			 including, but not limited to, name, address, practice status, employer(s),
			 place(s) of employment, hours of employment, job assignment and continuing
			 education training taken during the 
								biennial period immediately preceding such
			 application. The licensee shall complete the 
								biennial
			 registration prior to the expiration date of the last issued certificate of
			 registration in order to maintain continuing compliance with Chapter 4751. of
			 the Revised Code.
(C)
								Beginning January 1, 2025, the operator of a nursing
			 home may request that the board issue a nursing home administrator license to
			 an individual who meets the requirements specified in division (A) of section
			 4751.20 of the Revised Code but
			 has not passed the licensing examination administered under section
			 4751.15 of the Revised Code, in
			 order to fill a vacancy in the position of nursing home administrator at the
			 nursing home resulting from a death, illness, or other unexpected cause. An
			 individual issued a license under this rule shall submit to the board, not
			 later than one hundred eighty days after a license is issued, satisfactory
			 evidence that the individual has passed the licensing examination administered
			 under section 4751.15 of the Revised
			 Code.
(D)
								
								Biennially beginning January 1, 2026, a minimum of
			 
								forty
			 clock hours of approved continuing education, as set forth in rules
			 4751-1-10.1 and
			 4751-1-13 of the Administrative
			 Code, shall be required for renewal of registration of the nursing home
			 administrator license. Failure to renew the certificate of registration prior
			 to the expiration date invokes the penalty of fifty dollars per calendar
			 quarter up to a maximum of four quarters or two hundred dollars.
(E)
			 Any nursing home administrator who has not renewed his or her certificate of
			 registration after one year of the expiration date is deemed to have abandoned
			 practice of nursing home administration pursuant to division (C) of section
			 4751.24 of the Revised Code and
			 shall re-apply for licensure as a nursing home administrator under the current
			 requirements.
(F) The board shall
			 issue a certificate of registration to each nursing home administrator who
			 meets the requirements of Chapter 4751. of the Revised Code and Chapter 4751-1
			 of the Administrative Code unless the board is prohibited from doing so
			 pursuant to section 4751.35 of the Revised Code. The
			 certificate of registration may be issued by electronic means.
(G)
			 The license of a nursing home administrator who fails to qualify for renewal
			 prior to the expiration date of the certificate of registration shall
			 automatically lapse and become invalid; practice of nursing home administration
			 by the licensee subsequent thereto is in violation of sections
			 4751.01 and
			 4751.32 of the Revised Code, and
			 subjects the licensee to proceedings against the licensee under the cited
			 sections of the statute and/or under section
			 4751.32 of the Revised
			 Code.
(H) Every individual
			 holding a valid license entitling the individual to practice nursing home
			 administration in this state shall display said license in the nursing home
			 which is the individual's principal place of employment, and while engaged in
			 the practice of nursing home administration shall have at hand the current
			 certificate of registration.
(I) A nursing home
			 administrator shall show the administrator's current certificate of
			 registration to any of the following parties upon their request to see the
			 certificate:
(1) An officer or employee of the
			 board, or of the state, county or city health department, or other governmental
			 agency that enforces laws or regulations on nursing homes or nursing home
			 administrators;
(2) An employer in
			 whose employ the licensee practices or intends to practice nursing home
			 administration.
