Renewal. A license shall expire on March 31, unless it is renewed for an additional term as provided in this section. A license may not be renewed for a term longer than 2 years. At least 90 days before the license expires, the Board shall send a renewal notice to the licensee: By first class mail to the last known address of the licensee; or If requested by the licensee, by electronic means to the last known electronic mail address of the licensee. If a renewal notice sent by electronic means under §A(3)(b) of this regulation is returned to the Board as undeliverable, the Board shall send a renewal notice to the licensee by first–class mail to the last known address of the licensee. The renewal notice shall state: The procedure to follow; Continuing education requirements; 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. A licensee who did not submit to a criminal history records check upon initial licensure with the Board shall submit to a criminal history records check upon the licensee’s first renewal with the Board after January 1, 2019. Every 6 years following the initial submission of a criminal history records check to the Board, a licensee applying for renewal shall submit to a criminal history records check. Upon receipt of a licensee’s criminal history records information in accordance with §A(6) and (7) of this regulation, the Board shall consider the following factors in determining whether to renew a license: The age at which the crime was committed; The circumstances surrounding the crime; The length of time that has passed since the crime; Subsequent work history; Employment and character references, if provided; and Other evidence that demonstrates whether the licensee poses a threat to the public health or safety. The Board may not renew a license if the Board has not received the results of a criminal history records check required pursuant to §A(6) and (7) of this regulation. Expiration. A license automatically expires when the psychologist fails to meet the renewal requirements by March 31. Inactive Status.
