Ga. Comp. R. & Regs. R. 360-4-.06 - Renewal

(1) All active licenses must be renewed on a biennial basis. Clinical Perfusionist licenses will expire on the last day of the month in which the licensee's birthday renewal falls. In order to renew the license, the licensee must have completed the Board-approved continuing education requirements provided in Rule 360-4-.07.

(2) Approximately 60 days prior to the expiration date, the Board may as a courtesy, mail a notice for license renewal to the last address on file in the Board's records to every person holding a current license. Failure to receive such notification shall not relieve the licensee of the obligation to renew and pay the required fee prior to the expiration date of the license. Deposit of the renewal fee by the Board does not indicate acceptance of the renewal application or that any renewal requirements have been fulfilled.

(3) Failure to meet the requirements for renewal is a basis for nonrenewal.

(4) A license that is not renewed by the expiration date may be late renewed for a period of three (3) months following the expiration date. In order to late renew, the licensee must submit an application, pay the late renewal fee established by the Board and show completion of the required continuing professional education.

(5) Licenses that are not renewed within three (3) months of expiration shall be revoked for failure to renew. In order to obtain a license after revocation for failure to renew, an applicant must reapply for licensure in accordance with rule 360-4-.02.

(6) A person who holds an expired license shall not engage in the practice of perfusion or represent himself or herself as a licensed clinical perfusionist until such time as the Board has renewed, reinstated or relicensed such person.

(7) All applicants must provide an affidavit and a secure and verifiable document in accordance with O.C.G.A. 50-36-1(f). If the applicant has previously provided a secure and verifiable document and affidavit of United States citizenship, no additional documentation of citizenship is required for renewal. If the applicant for renewal is not a United States citizen, he/she must submit documentation that will determine his/her qualified alien status. The Board participates in the DHS-USCIS SAVE (Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements or "SAVE") program for purpose of verifying citizenship and immigration status information of non-U.S. citizens. If the applicant for renewal is a qualified alien or non-immigrant under the Federal Immigration and Nationality Act, he/she must provide the alien number issued by the Department of Homeland Security or other federal agency.
