1. Every
				music therapist who has been licensed by the board shall renew the
				license by remitting a renewal fee on or before December thirty-first
				of each odd-numbered year and completing the questionnaire provided
				by the board. For applicants who receive an initial license after
				July first in an odd-numbered year, the license will be deemed to be
				automatically renewed on December thirty-first for an additional two
				years without payment of an additional renewal fee.
2. The applicant for renewal shall
				certify on the questionnaire that the continuing education
				requirements have been or will be met by December thirty-first. The
				applicant must keep records of completed continuing education. The
				board shall conduct random compliance audits of licensees. Failure to
				complete continuing education is considered unprofessional
				conduct.
3. A license
				renewal application received on or after January first of an
				even-numbered year is a late renewal and requires a new completed
				application form, the renewal fee, plus a late fee set by the board.
				Proof of appropriate continuing education hours must be presented. A
				license that has not been renewed by December thirty-first in an
				odd-numbered year is a lapsed license.

				Every licensed behavior analyst or licensed assistant behavior

				remitting a renewal fee on or before November fifteenth of each

2. The applicant for renewal shall
				certify on the renewal application that the continuing education
				requirements have been or will be met by November fifteenth. The
				applicant shall keep records of completed continuing education for at
				least two years. The board shall conduct random compliance audits of

Current through Supplement No. 393, July, 2024
1. Once a license has lapsed, the
				individual who held the lapsed license may not practice behavior
				analysis or use a title reserved under state law for individuals who
				are licensed by the board until a new license is issued. An
				individual whose license has lapsed but who continues to practice
				applied behavior analysis or use a restricted title violates state
				law and this chapter. Such a violation is grounds for denying an
				application by the former licensee for renewal of the lapsed license
				or for a new license.
2.
				An application for reactivation of a lapsed license will be
				considered if:
a. The applicant
				provides a letter from all states in which that licensee has
				practiced since their North Dakota license lapsed indicating the
				applicant is in good standing to practice as a behavior analyst or
				licensed assistant behavior analyst in that other state or
				states.
b. The applicant
				shall appear before the board if the applicant cannot show proof of
				active practice in some state or jurisdiction for at least six months
				of the last two years.
c.
				The applicant must take and pass the behavior analyst certification
				board national examination related to competence in applied behavior
				analysis if it has been two or more years since the behavior analyst
				or licensed assistant behavior analyst was in active practice in any
				state. The board may select to have any holder of a lapsed license
				applying for reactivation take the behavior analyst certification
				board national examination related to competence in applied behavior
				analysis or any other evaluation at its discretion.

				actual class time.
2. An
				extension of time or other waiver to complete the hours required in
				subsection 1 must be granted upon written application if the licensee
				failed to meet the requirements due to illness, military service,
				medical charitable activities, religious missionary activities, or
