(a) Each license shall be renewed annually on or before October 1 of each year by the licensee remitting to the secretary of the Board the proper fee and proof of continued education as required by regulation of the Board. Notice of renewal shall be sent to each licensee by the Board before October 1 of each year. Failure to renew his license on or before November 1 shall subject the licensee to such late charge as shall be determined by regulation of the Board not to exceed the limit set forth in this Chapter. Any license not renewed by December 31 of each year shall be automatically revoked. Upon receipt of the renewal certificate, each licensee shall attach a copy of the same to his certificate of license.

The secretary shall send a written notice of the continuing education requirements at least thirty (30) days prior to September 1 in each year to the last known address of the licensee. Failure of a licensee to meet such annual continuing educational requirements shall be grounds for the revocation of his license. Any license revoked because of the failure to meet the continuing education require- ments shall be reinstated by the Board upon the presentation of evidence of continuing study of a standard approved by the Board and the payment of all fees due.
