Universal Citation: 20 MO Code of State Regs 2263-2.075

Current through Register Vol. 49, No. 18, September 16, 2024

PURPOSE: This amendment removes unnecessary language.

(1) All licenses shall be renewed on or before the expiration of the license. Failure of a licensee to renew the license shall cause the license to lapse. Failure to receive notice shall not relieve the licensee of the obligation to renew the license to practice as a licensed social worker and to pay the required fee prior to the expiration date of the license. Renewals shall be postmarked no later than the expiration date of the license, or if the expiration date is a Sunday or federal holiday, then the next day, to avoid the late renewal penalty fee as defined in the rules promulgated by the committee. Deposit of the renewal fee by the division does not constitute acceptance of the renewal application.

(2) Each licensed social worker shall provide the committee with a completed renewal form issued by the committee 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;

(D) Information regarding being currently treated or ever having been treated through a drug or alcohol rehabilitation program;

(E) Details regarding being a party in a civil suit;

(F) Any and all details regarding any restriction or discipline for unethical behavior or unprofessional conduct;

(G) Any and all details regarding a professional license, certification, registration, permit, or an application in any state, United States territory, province, or country being denied, reprimanded, suspended, restricted, revoked, or otherwise disciplined, curtailed or voluntarily surrendered under threat of investigation or disciplinary action;

(H) Any and all details regarding any pending complaints before any regulatory board or agency;

(I) Details regarding a medical condition which in any way impairs or limits the ability to perform the duties of a licensed social worker with reasonable skill and safety; and

(J) Affirmation that the licensee has fulfilled the ethical standard of maintaining continued competence by the completion of at least thirty (30) clock hours of continuing education.

(3) Any licensee who fails to timely renew shall not perform any act for which a license is required during the expired, lapsed, or inactive period.
