PURPOSE: This rule outlines the process of renewing a license to practice as an occupational therapist and occupational therapy assistant.

(1) All licenses including those on inactive status shall be renewed biennially. Failure of a licensee to renew the license shall cause the license to lapse.

Renewals shall be postmarked no later than the expiration date of the license to avoid the late penalty fee. Deposit of the renewal fee by the division does not constitute acceptance of the renewal application.

(2) Each occupational therapist and occupational therapy assistant shall provide the board with a completed renewal form issued by the division that shall contain-

(A) The licensee's residential address;

(B) Details regarding being found guilty, plea of guilty, receipt of a suspended imposition of sentence or the entering of a plea of nolo contendere for any violation of any laws of a state or the United States, other than a traffic violation;

(C) Details regarding any addiction to or repetitive abuse of any drug or chemical substance including alcohol within the past five (5) years;

(D) Information regarding being currently treated or in the past five (5) years having been treated through a drug or alcohol rehabilitation program;

(G) Details regarding any pending complaints before any regulatory board or agency; and

(H) Verification of completion of the required continuing competency credits pursuant to rules promulgated by the board.
