Section 1799-4.0 - Renewal of License

4.1 Each license shall be renewed biennially. The failure of the Council and/or 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 regulations of the Council and 24 Del.C. Ch. 17, Subchapter 11.

4.2 License renewal shall be accomplished online at www.dpr.delaware.gov and shall include:

4.3 As a condition of renewal, each licensee shall maintain his/her certification with the American Board of Genetic Counseling, the American Board of Medical Genetics, or an organization that is recognized as equivalent.

4.4 As a condition of renewal, the licensee shall provide the Council with any other information as may be required by the Council to ascertain the licensee's good standing.

4.5 Failure of a licensee to renew his/her license shall cause his/her license to expire. A licensee whose license has expired may renew his/her license within one (1) year after the expiration date upon fulfilling subsections 4.2 - 4.4 above, certifying that he/she has not practiced genetic counseling 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.

4.6 No licensee will be permitted to renew his/her license once the one (1) year period has expired.

4.7 The former licensee may re-apply under the same conditions that govern applicants for new licensure under 24 Del.C. Ch. 17, Subchapter 11.

4.8 No genetic counselor shall practice in the State of Delaware during the period of time that his/her Delaware license has expired.
