Current through Register Vol. 50, No. 9, September 20, 2024

A. Noncompliance. Noncompliance with continuing education requirements includes, but is not limited to, incomplete reports, unsigned reports, unsigned verification of course or activity completion, failure to report a sufficient number of approved continuing education hours as defined in §193, or any other matters considered to be noncompliance by the board.

B. Notice. The board shall send written notice of noncompliance to a licensee requesting that the licensee furnish to the board within 30 days of receipt of the notice, the following:

1. a written explanation for failure to complete required CE; or if applicable;

2. an affidavit with documentary proof that the licensee has complied with the continuing education requirements, or an affidavit setting forth the reasons for failure to comply with the continuing education requirements because of illness, natural disaster, other personal hardship or extended active military service during the reporting period and stating that he did not provide physical therapy services during that period.

C. Finding. If the licensee:

1. satisfactorily explains the non-compliance, his license may be determined to be in compliance with the CE Audit upon payment of an administrative fee; or

2. does not successfully establish compliance or acceptable exemption from compliance with continuing educational requirements, he may be subject to disciplinary action and may be required to take the licensing examination and pay the fees for examination. Passage of the examination fulfills the continuing education requirements for the year the noncompliance occurred, but shall not be applicable for subsequent reporting periods.
