§ 43-06-13. Term of license - Renewal - Fee - Requirements

1. A license to practice chiropractic in this state is valid for one year and must be renewed on or before the first day of September of each year. 2. A renewal applicant shall pay a fee for renewal of a license. The fee for renewal of a license must be determined by the board from time to time, but may not exceed five hundred dollars. 3. The board shall establish by rule the number of hours necessary for annual continuing education. 4. The board shall establish by rule the accepted programs for the annual continuing education requirement. 5. A license that has not been renewed, as a result of nonpayment of annual registration fees required by this chapter or as a result of the failure by the licensee to attend the required annual continuing education, may be reinstated by procedure adopted by the board in administrative rules. In either case, the board may charge an additional administrative fee to be fixed by the board at the time of consideration of the reinstatement, not to exceed four hundred dollars. 6. In addition to the payment of fees, the board, after an investigation, may require a chiropractor whose license has not been renewed to submit to a re-examination as to the applicant's qualifications to practice chiropractic before the applicant is reinstated, if the board in the exercise of the board's discretion finds and determines the best interests of the public and the applicant will be served thereby.
