Current through Register Vol. 49, No. 6, March 15, 2024
PURPOSE: This rule establishes requirements for
crossover renewals, inactive licenses and reinstatements for crossover
licenses.
(1) Renewals. Every
two (2) years (biennially) the renewal application for active crossover
licensees must be completed, signed, accompanied by the appropriate renewal
fee, and returned to the board office prior to the expiration date of the
license. All licenses shall expire on September 30 of each odd-numbered year.
Any application postmarked after September 30 will be returned and the
applicant will be required to reinstate.
(A)
Failure of a licensee to receive the notice and application to renew his/her
license shall not excuse him/her from the requirements of Chapters 328 and 329,
RSMo, to renew that license. A license, which has not been renewed prior to the
renewal date, or placed on inactive status, shall expire on the renewal date.
Any licensee who fails to renew shall not perform or offer to perform any act
for which a license is required.
(B) During the renewal period, an applicant
may apply to solely renew either the barber or cosmetology portion of the
applicant's crossover license. A former crossover applicant seeking to renew
his/her license in a single profession under this subsection shall comply with
all requirements and fees applicable to the renewal of the individual license
sought. Upon being issued an individual license pursuant to this subsection,
the applicant shall surrender and submit the crossover license to the board and
the crossover license shall be deemed null and void.
(C) Renewal applicants for a crossover school
or establishment license shall comply with
20
CSR 2085-12.010(7) and
20
CSR 2085-10.010(4).
(2) Inactive Licenses. A crossover
operator licensee or instructor may choose to place his/her license on an
inactive status by signing a change in licensure status affidavit stating that
he/she will not practice as a crossover licensee in Missouri and submitting
that application to the board office along with the inactive license fee. An
inactive license will be issued to individuals requesting inactive status. All
inactive licenses shall expire on September 30 of each odd-numbered year.
(A) If the licensee decides to again practice
as a licensee he/she must complete a reactivation application and submit it
along with the current renewal fee. The board reserves the right pursuant to
Chapters 328 and 329, RSMo, to direct any such applicant to take an examination
to reactivate.
(B) To reactivate
the license, instructors shall be required to attend a board approved seminar
within the two (2) years immediately preceding the reactivation date and submit
evidence of attendance with a change in licensure status affidavit for each
activated license.
(C) An inactive
crossover licensee is not eligible to practice in Missouri and will be subject
to disciplinary action if he/she practices or offers to practice in Missouri as
a barber or cosmetologist. Any inactive instructor is not eligible to teach
while holding an inactive license and will be subject to disciplinary action if
he/she teaches or offers to teach in Missouri.
(3) Reinstatement of Expired License-
Cosmetologist and Instructors. The holder of an expired crossover cosmetologist
or instructor license may submit an application to the board to reinstate that
license without examination within two (2) years of the date the license
expired. The application shall be on a form supplied by the board and shall be
accompanied by the license renewal fee plus the late fee and other information
as the board may require.
(A) Any person who
has allowed his/her crossover license to expire for a period of more than two
(2) years but less than five (5) years may submit an application to the board
to reinstate that license by examination. The applicant for reinstatement shall
be required to complete the applicable practical portions of the state
licensure examinations for both a barber license and the requested cosmetology
license.
(B) Any person who has
allowed his/her crossover license to expire for a period of more than five (5)
years may submit an application to the board to reinstate the crossover license
and shall be required to complete all examination and training requirements
applicable to new licensees for a crossover license.
(C) Applications for reinstatement by
examination shall be properly completed on a form supplied by the board and
shall include or be accompanied by the individual's license number, the license
renewal fee and the late fee, two (2) United States passport photographs
measuring approximately two inches by two inches (2" x 2") which have been
taken within the last five (5) years and other information as the board may
require.
(D) In order to be
scheduled for examination to reinstate an expired license, the properly
completed application must be received by the board along with the required
fees no fewer than fourteen (14) days prior to the first day of each scheduled
examination. Applications received after this cut-off date and all applications
received after every available space for the examination has been filled,
whether that application was received prior to or after this cut-off date,
shall be scheduled for the next regularly scheduled examination.
(E) In lieu of reinstatement of the crossover
license, an applicant may apply to individually reinstate just the applicant's
barber license or cosmetology license. A former crossover applicant seeking to
reinstate his/her license in a single profession shall comply with
20 CSR
2085-5.010 for prospective barber licensees or
20 CSR
2085-7.010 for prospective cosmetology
licensees.
