Tenn. Comp. R. & Regs. 0150-01-.09 - LICENSURE RENEWAL AND REINSTATEMENT
(1) All
licensees must renew their licenses to be able to legally continue in practice.
License renewal is governed by the following:
(a) The due date for license renewal is its
expiration date which is the last day of the month in which a license holder's
birthday falls pursuant to the Division of Health Related Boards "biennial
birthdate renewal system" contained in Rule 1200-10-01-.10.
(b) Methods of Renewal - Licensees may
accomplish renewal by one of the following methods:
1. Internet Renewals - Individuals may apply
for renewal and pay the necessary fees via the Internet. The application to
renew can be accessed at: https://apps.tn.gov/hlrs/
2. Paper Renewals - Licensees who have not
renewed their authorization online via the Internet will have a renewal
application form mailed to them at the last address provided by them to the
Board prior to the expiration date of their current license. Failure to receive
such notification does not relieve the individual of the responsibility of
timely meeting all requirements for renewal. To be eligible for renewal a
licensee must submit to the Division of Health Related Boards on or before the
license's expiration date the following:
(i) A
completed and signed renewal application form.
(ii) The renewal and state regulatory fees as
provided in Rule 0150-01-.06.
(c) Any renewal application received after
the expiration date but before the last day of the month following the
expiration date must be accompanied by the Late Renewal Fee provided in Rule
0150-01-.06.
(d) Any individual who
fails to comply with the license renewal rules and/or notifications sent to
them concerning failure to timely renew shall have their license processed
pursuant to Rule 1200-10-01-.10.
(e) Anyone submitting a signed renewal form,
electronically or otherwise, which is found to be fraudulent or untrue may be
subject to disciplinary action.
(f)
Any licensee who receives notice of failure to timely renew pursuant to Rule
1200-10-01-.10, and who, on or before the last day of the month following the
month in which the license expires, executes and files in the Board's
administrative office an affidavit of retirement pursuant to Rule 0150-01-.11 may have their license retired effective on their licensure expiration
date.
(2) Licenses
processed pursuant to Rule 1200-10-01-.10 for failure to renew may be
reinstated upon meeting the following conditions:
(a) Obtain, complete and submit a
renewal/reinstatement/reactivation application; and
(b) Payment of the late renewal fee provided
in Rule 0150-01-.06; and
(c) Submit
documentation demonstrating successful completion of the continuing education
requirements, as provided in Rule 0150-01-.12, which must have been completed
pursuant to the schedule set out in Rule 0150-01-.12(1)(a); and
(d) If derogatory information or
communication is received during the renewal process, if requested by the Board
or its duly authorized representative, appear before the Board, a Board member,
a screening panel when the individual is under investigation or the Board
designee for an interview and/or be prepared to meet or accept other conditions
or restrictions as the Board may deem necessary to protect the
public.
(e) Any licensee who fails
to renew licensure prior to the expiration of the second (2nd) year after which
renewal is due may be required to meet or accept other conditions or
restrictions as the Board may deem necessary to protect the public.
(3) Renewal issuance and
reinstatement decisions pursuant to this rule may be made administratively
subject to review by the Board, any Board member or the Board
designee.
