Vermont § 373 - Renewal of licensure

§ 373. Renewal of licensure

• (a) A person licensed by the Board to practice podiatry shall apply biennially for the
  renewal of his or her license. At least one month prior to the date on which renewal
  is required, the Board shall send to each licensee a license renewal application form
  and notice of the date on which the existing license will expire. On or before the
  renewal date, the licensee shall file an application for license renewal and pay the
  required fee; however, any podiatrist while on extended active duty as a member of
  the U.S. Armed Forces, a reserve component of the U.S. Armed Forces, the National
  Guard, or the State Guard who is licensed as a podiatrist at the time of an activation
  or deployment shall receive an extension of licensure up to 90 days following the
  podiatrist’s return from activation or deployment, provided the podiatrist notifies
  the Board of his or her activation or deployment prior to the expiration of the current
  license and certifies that the circumstances of the activation or deployment impede
  good faith efforts to make timely application for renewal of the license. The Board
  shall register the applicant and issue the renewal license. Within one month following
  the date by which renewal is required, the Board shall pay the license renewal fees
  into the Board of Medical Practice Regulatory Fee Fund. (b) A license that has lapsed for up to 364 days may be reinstated on payment of a renewal
  fee and a late renewal penalty. A license that has lapsed for one year or longer may
  be reinstated upon payment of the reinstatement fee and completion of the reinstatement
  application as set forth by the Board by rule. The applicant shall not be required
  to pay renewal fees during periods when the license was lapsed. However, if such license
  remains lapsed for a period of three years or longer, the Board may require the licensee
  to update his or her knowledge and skills as defined by Board rules. (c) Notwithstanding the provision of subsection (a) of this section, the Board may, after
  notice and an opportunity for hearing, require reexamination as a condition of renewal
  if the Board finds that the licensee has failed to maintain competence in the knowledge
  and skills of a podiatrist. (d) All applicants shall demonstrate that the requirements for licensure are met. (Added 1985, No. 256 (Adj. Sess.), § 8, eff. June 30, 1986; amended 2011, No. 61, § 1, eff. June 2, 2011; 2019, No. 126 (Adj. Sess.), §§ 4, 5.) § 373.
