(1) Specific procedures and grace periods for renewal are set by department or board rule, or statute applicable to a particular profession, or 37-1-141, MCA. Such procedures shall take account of, and be based upon, the renewal dates in this rule. An existing license ends on the renewal date specified for each profession and occupation listed and must be renewed on or before this date.
(2) If a timely and sufficient application is submitted on or prior to such date, the applicant's continued practice is governed under 2-4-631, MCA. In order for an application to be timely and sufficient it must be:
(a) completed with truthful information;
(b) accompanied by other required information or documentation as applicable;
(c) accompanied by the appropriate fee; and
(d) submitted so that it bears a U.S. Postal Service post mark prior to or on the renewal date for the applicable profession; or
(e) submitted by using the online renewal service available on the department's website. Although the department strives to keep its website accessible at all times, licensees should be aware that the website may be unavailable during some periods, due to system maintenance or technical problems, and that a person's technical difficulties in accessing the online renewal service do not excuse late renewals;
(i) online renewal transactions must be fully completed prior to midnight Mountain time on the renewal date.
(3) If the requirements of this rule are not met, a late penalty fee as specified in ARM 24.101.403 will be required in order to renew.
(4) The provisions of ARM 24.101.408 and 24.101.414 are applicable to all license renewals.
(5) The following are renewal dates for the professions and occupations listed:
