a)         Every continuing education instructor license shall expire on June 30 of each even numbered year.

b)         Each licensed CE instructor shall be responsible for renewal of the license on forms provided by the Division. Failure to receive a renewal form shall not constitute a valid reason to submit the proper application for renewal and for failure to pay the proper renewal fee.

c)         The applicable fees shall be those set forth in Section 1450.95 of this Part.

d)         Teaching CE courses on an expired license shall constitute the unlicensed or unauthorized practice and shall be grounds for discipline.

e)         Restoration

1)         Any licensed CE instructor whose license under the Act has expired is eligible to renew the license without paying any lapsed renewal fees or reinstatement fees provided that the license expired while the instructor was:

B)        engaged in training or education under the supervision of the United States prior to induction into military service; or

f)          Any continuing education instructor whose license under the Act has expired for more than two years shall not be eligible for renewal of that license.
