1. Application. An application for renewal of a license must be made on forms issued by the board. An officer applying for renewal shall verify compliance with sidearm and continuing education requirements on the application for renewal and submit the application for renewal prior to the expiration of the officer's license.

2. Renewal. The board shall issue a license renewal, which is valid for three years, to each officer who has submitted the appropriate fee on or before December thirty-first of the year the officer's license expires and who has verified compliance with all licensing requirements, including continuing education and annual sidearm qualification requirements.

3. Late renewal. If an officer fails to renew a license by December thirty-first of the year the officer's license expires, the license is no longer in effect and the individual may not perform officer duties until the officer has renewed the license in accordance with the requirements of this section. The officer may apply for late renewal no later than December thirty-first of the following year upon payment of the late renewal fee and verification of compliance with all licensing requirements, including continuing education and sidearm qualification requirements. The board may not renew the officer's license unless the officer has completed all required continuing education and annual sidearm qualification requirements.

4. Expiration of license. If an officer fails to apply for renewal of a license within one year after the expiration of the officer's license, the board may not renew the officer's license.

5. Application for limited license and partial waiver. If a peace officer fails to renew the license within one year after expiration of the license, the individual's employing agency may apply to the board for a limited license. The individual's employing agency may request a partial waiver of basic training after the board has issued a limited license to the individual.

6. No partial waiver. There are not waivers available for individuals whose peace officer license has been expired for more than three years.
