NAC641.132. Renewal of license.

     1. To renew his or her license, a psychologist, licensed behavior analyst or a licensed assistant behavior analyst must submit to the Board an application for renewal, the required fees and the form for the biennial report of continuing education required pursuant to subsection 2. The licensee shall retain evidence of the completion of the continuing education required by NAC 641.136 or 641.1363, as applicable, for at least 5 years after the completion of that continuing education. Evidence of completion of continuing education includes, without limitation, a letter signed by the instructor of the course or program or the agent of the sponsoring agency or organization, and a certificate of completion approved by the Board pursuant to NAC 641.138. Upon the request of the Board, the licensee must provide evidence of completion of the continuing education.

     2. The Board will mail to each licensee, before the expiration of his or her license, a form for the biennial report of continuing education. Each applicant for renewal must sign the form certifying that:

     (a) He or she has completed the continuing education required by NAC 641.136 or 641.1363, as applicable; and

     (b) The evidence of completion of continuing education required pursuant to subsection 1 is true and accurate.

     3. If a licensee misrepresents the completion of continuing education, he or she will be subject to disciplinary action, including, without limitation, suspension, revocation or nonrenewal of his or her license. A licensee whose license has been suspended or not renewed must complete the continuing education required by NAC 641.136 or 641.1363, as applicable, before the Board will consider whether to reinstate his or her license.

     4. If a licensee does not satisfy the continuing education requirement, his or her license will not be renewed and he or she will be subject to disciplinary action. The Board may grant a licensee a 60-day extension if the licensee submits to the Board, on or before December 1 immediately preceding the expiration of his or her license, a written request for an extension which includes a compelling explanation for his or her inability to complete the continuing education requirement during the immediately preceding 2 years.
