Section 3.02 - Procedures for Renewal of a License and Renewal of a Lapsed/Expired License

(a) A Registrant must renew his or her license every two years. Each license originally issued to an individual shall be valid until May 31st on the even year next occurring. Upon renewal, the license will be valid until May 31st on the even year next occurring.

(b) A Registrant must submit to the Board a completed renewal application and the required fees prior to the expiration date of the license; and

(c) A Registrant must fulfill and document the continuing education activities as required in 266 CMR 5.00: Continuing Education.

(a) If a Registrant fails to meet the requirements for renewal of his or her license as set forth in 266 CMR 3.02(1), the license of such person is considered expired and not in good standing. A Registrant with an expired license is prohibited from conducting home inspections, or to use the title "Registered Professional Home Inspector" or "Home Inspector" during the period in which the license is expired.

(b) If a Registrant requests that his or her expired license be reinstated within one year of the date his or her license expires, the Registrant must pay the renewal fee for the current licensure period, pay a late fee (as determined by the Secretary of Administration and Finance), document completion of all continuing education contact hours required by the Board, and file satisfactory proof of the mandatory insurance coverage.

(c) If a Registrant fails to renew for more than one year, the Board may grant renewal upon its discretion based upon the circumstances surrounding the request. The Board may require the Registrant to appear before the Board, take an examination, complete additional continuing education, or practice under supervision prior to, or as a term or condition of, issuing said late renewal license.
