7.1 Licensees shall report any facts requested by the Board in conjunction with the renewal process.

Licensees selected for the random audit shall submit CE course attendance verification in the form of a certificate signed by the course presenter or by a designated official of the sponsoring organization. Licensees shall retain their CE course attendance documentation for each licensure period and for at least one (1) year after renewal. Licensees found to be deficient or found to have falsely attested may be subject to disciplinary proceedings and may have their license suspended or revoked. Licensees renewing during the late renewal period shall be audited.

7.4.2 Any licensee whose license has expired for a period in excess of one year may have his license reinstated without examination in accordance with regulation 7.4.1 and upon satisfying the Board as to the applicant's current qualifications by completing an application form, providing, however, such applicant may attach a resume in lieu of completing the sections on occupational background and administrative experience of the application form.
