Part III. Renewal
A. Licenses and provisional licenses for waterworks operators shall expire on the last day of February of each odd-numbered year. Licenses and provisional licenses for wastewater works operators shall expire on the last day of February of each even-numbered year. Licenses for onsite soil evaluators, onsite sewage system installers, and onsite sewage system operators shall expire 24 months from the last day of the month wherein issued. Interim licenses shall expire 48 months from the last day of the month wherein issued.
B. Interim licenses shall not be renewed.
C. The Department of Professional and Occupational Regulation shall mail a renewal notice to the licensee and the provisional licensee outlining the procedures for renewal. Renewal notices shall be mailed to the licensee and to the provisional licensee at the last known address of record. Failure to receive written notice shall not relieve the licensee or the provisional licensee of the obligation to renew and pay the required fee outlined in 18VAC160-20-102.
D. Each licensee and provisional licensee applying for renewal shall return the renewal notice and fee prior to the expiration date shown on the license. If the licensee or provisional licensee fails to receive the renewal notice, a copy of the expired license or provisional license may be submitted in place of the renewal notice along with the required fee.
E. By submitting the renewal fee, an applicant for license renewal is certifying his continued compliance with this chapter and compliance with the continuing professional education requirements of this chapter.
F. The date on which the renewal fee and any required forms are actually received by the board or its agent shall determine whether an additional fee is due.
G. If the requirements of subsection D of this section are met more than 30 days but less than 12 months after the expiration date on the license or provisional license, a late penalty fee shall be required as established in 18VAC160-20-102. The date on which the renewal application, any required documentation and the required fees are actually received by the board or its agent shall determine whether the licensee or provisional licensee is eligible for renewal and whether an additional fee is due.
H. Any individual who fails to renew his license or provisional license within 12 months after the expiration date printed on the license or the provisional license, as appropriate, shall apply for a new license by examination or for a new provisional license in accordance with Part II (18VAC160-20-74 et seq.) of this chapter. Such individual shall be deemed to be eligible to sit for the examination for the same category and class of license as the expired license or provisional license.
I. The board may deny renewal of a license or provisional license for the same reasons as it may refuse initial licensure or provisional licensure or discipline a licensee or provisional licensee.
