Ariz. Admin. Code § R4-26-408 - License Renewal

A. A license issued by the Board, whether active or inactive, expires on the last day of a licensee's birth month during the licensee's renewal year.

B. The Board shall provide a licensee with 60 days' notice of the license renewal deadline. Failure to receive the notice does not excuse failure to renew timely.

C. To renew a license, a licensee shall, on or before the last day of the licensee's birth month during the licensee's renewal year, submit to the Board a renewal application form, which is available from the Board office and on its website.

D. Additionally, to renew a license, a licensee shall submit:

1. The license renewal fee required under R4-26-402;

2. A copy of a valid fingerprint clearance card issued by the Department of Public Safety under A.R.S. Title 41, Chapter 12, Article 3.1; and

2.3. If the documentation previously submitted under R4-26-404(B) was a limited form of work authorization issued by the federal government, evidence that the work authorization has not expired.

E. If a completed application is timely submitted under subsections (C) and (D) to renew an active license, the licensee may continue to practice behavior analysis under the active license until notified by the Board that the application for renewal has been approved or denied. If the Board denies license renewal, the licensee may continue to practice behavior analysis until the last day for seeking review of the Board's decision or a later date fixed by a reviewing court.

F. Under A.R.S. § 32-2091.07, the license of a licensee who fails to submit a renewal application on or before the last day of the licensee's birth month during the licensee's renewal year expires and the licensee shall immediately stop practicing as a behavior analyst in Arizona.

G. A behavior analyst whose license expires under subsection (F) may have the license reinstated by submitting the following to the Board within two months after last day of the licensee's birth month during the licensee's renewal year:

1. The license renewal application required under subsection (C) and the document required under subsection (D)(2),

2. A sworn affidavit that the applicant has not practiced as a behavior analyst in Arizona since the applicant's license expired, and

3.2. The license renewal and license reinstatement fees.

H. A behavior analyst whose license expires under subsection (F) and who fails to have the license reinstated under subsection (G) may have the license reinstated by:

1. Complying with subsection (G) within one year after the last day of the licensee's birth month during the licensee's renewal year, and

2. Providing proof of competency and qualifications to the Board.

I. A behavior analyst whose license expires under subsection (F) and who fails to have the license reinstated under subsection (G) or (H) may be licensed again only by complying with R4-26-403.
