The term of a license issued by the Board may not exceed 3 years. A license expires on a date set by the Board, unless the license is renewed as provided in this section. At least 1 month before the license expires, the Board shall send to the licensee a renewal notice that states: The date on which the current license expires; The date by which the renewal application must be received by the Board for the renewal to be issued and mailed before the license expires; and The amount of the renewal fee. The Board shall renew the license of a licensee who: Submits a renewal application on the form that the Board requires; Is of good moral character; Pays a renewal fee set by the Board; Is otherwise entitled to be licensed; Meets the continuing education requirements adopted by the Board; and Provides evidence of biennial cardiopulmonary resuscitation certification. Beginning October 1, 2016, the Board shall require a criminal history records check in accordance with § 14–308.1 of this title for: Renewal applicants as determined by regulations adopted by the Board; and Each former licensee who files for reinstatement under § 14–5F–16(b) of this subtitle. On receipt of the criminal history record information of a licensee forwarded to the Board in accordance with § 14–308.1 of this title, in determining whether disciplinary action should be taken, based on the criminal history record information, against a licensee who renewed or reinstated a license, the Board shall consider: The age at which the crime was committed; The nature of the crime; The circumstances surrounding the crime; The length of time that has passed since the crime; Subsequent work history; Employment and character references; and Other evidence that demonstrates whether the licensee poses a threat to the public health or safety. The Board may renew or reinstate a license only if the licensee or applicant attests that the licensee or applicant has submitted to a criminal history records check under § 14–308.1 of this title. A disciplinary panel may impose a civil penalty of up to $100 per continuing education credit in lieu of a sanction under § 14–5F–18 of this subtitle, for a first offense for failure of a licensee to obtain the continuing education credits required by the Board.
