24 Del. Admin. Code § 1770-11.0

Current through Register Vol. 28, No. 3, September 1, 2024

Section 1770-11.0 - Renewal of Licenses

11.1 Each license shall be renewed biennially. The failure of the Council/Board to notify a licensee of his/her expiration date and subsequent renewals does not, in any way, relieve the licensee of the requirement to renew his/her certificate pursuant to the Council's regulations and 24 Del.C. Ch. 17.

11.2 Renewal shall be effected electronically by:

11.2.1 Filing a renewal application online at www.dpr.delaware.gov;

11.2.2 Attesting on the renewal application to the completing of continuing education as required by Section 8.0; and

11.2.3 Payment of fees as determined by the Division of Professional Regulation.

11.3 Failure of a licensee to renew his/her license shall cause his/her license to expire.

11.3.1 Effective the licensure renewal period beginning December 1, 2020, a licensee whose license has expired may renew his/her license within sixty (60) days after the expiration date upon fulfilling the requirements in subsections 11.2.1 - 11.2.3 above, certifying that he/she has not practiced respiratory care in Delaware while his/her license has expired, and paying the renewal fee and a late fee as determined by the Division of Professional Regulation. All late renewals shall be audited for compliance with CE renewal requirements.

11.3.2 The failure of a licensee to renew the lapsed license within sixty (60) days as set forth in subsection 11.3.1 shall cause the license to terminate.

11.3.3 A respiratory care practitioner whose license has terminated may reapply under the same conditions that govern applicants for new licensure under 24 Del.C. Ch. 17.

11.3.4 A respiratory care practitioner who reapplies for licensure more than a year after the date of license termination must, in addition to the requirements of subsection 11.3.3, show evidence of completion of 20 hours of continuing education within the two year period prior to reapplication.
