169.12 - LICENSE RENEWAL.
169.12 LICENSE RENEWAL.
All licenses shall expire in multiyear intervals as determined by
the board but may be renewed by registration with the board and
payment of the registration renewal fee established and published by
the board. Prior to expiration the secretary shall mail a notice to
each licensed veterinarian that the license will expire and provide
the licensee with a form for registration.
Any person who shall practice veterinary medicine after license
expiration is practicing in violation of this chapter. However, a
person may renew an expired license within five years of the date of
its expiration by making written application for renewal and paying
the current renewal fee plus all delinquent renewal fees. After five
years have elapsed since the date of expiration, a license may not be
renewed, and the holder must make application for a new license and
take the license examination.
The board may by rule waive the payment of the registration
renewal fee of a licensed veterinarian during the period when the
veterinarian is on active duty with any branch of the armed services
of the United States.
Any licensee who is desirous of changing residence to another
state or territory shall, upon application to the department and
payment of the legal fee, receive a certified statement that the
licensee is a duly licensed practitioner in this state. Section History: Early Form
