LICENSURE
(Cite as: 26 V.S.A. § 373)
-
§ 373. Renewal of licensure
(a) A person licensed by the Board to practice podiatry shall apply biennially for the
renewal of his or her license. At least one month prior to the date on which renewal
is required, the Board shall send to each licensee a license renewal application form
and notice of the date on which the existing license will expire. On or before the
renewal date, the licensee shall file an application for license renewal and pay the
required fee; however, any podiatrist while on extended active duty as a member of
the U.S. Armed Forces, a reserve component of the U.S. Armed Forces, the National
Guard, or the State Guard who is licensed as a podiatrist at the time of an activation
or deployment shall receive an extension of licensure up to 90 days following the
podiatrist’s return from activation or deployment, provided the podiatrist notifies
the Board of his or her activation or deployment prior to the expiration of the current
license and certifies that the circumstances of the activation or deployment impede
good faith efforts to make timely application for renewal of the license. The Board
shall register the applicant and issue the renewal license. Within one month following
the date by which renewal is required, the Board shall pay the license renewal fees
into the Board of Medical Practice Regulatory Fee Fund.
(b) A license that has lapsed for up to 364 days may be reinstated on payment of a renewal
fee and a late renewal penalty. A license that has lapsed for one year or longer may
be reinstated upon payment of the reinstatement fee and completion of the reinstatement
application as set forth by the Board by rule. The applicant shall not be required
to pay renewal fees during periods when the license was lapsed. However, if such license
remains lapsed for a period of three years or longer, the Board may require the licensee
to update his or her knowledge and skills as defined by Board rules.
(c) Notwithstanding the provision of subsection (a) of this section, the Board may, after
notice and an opportunity for hearing, require reexamination as a condition of renewal
if the Board finds that the licensee has failed to maintain competence in the knowledge
and skills of a podiatrist.
(d) All applicants shall demonstrate that the requirements for licensure are met. (Added 1985, No. 256 (Adj. Sess.), § 8, eff. June 30, 1986; amended 2011, No. 61, § 1, eff. June 2, 2011; 2019, No. 126 (Adj. Sess.), §§ 4, 5.)
