(a) The board or the California Board of Podiatric Medicine, as the case may be, shall notify in writing either by certified mail, return receipt requested, or by electronic mail if requested by the licensee, any physician and surgeon or any podiatrist who does not renew his or her license within 60 days from its date of expiration.
(b) Notwithstanding Section 163.5, any such licensee who does not renew his or her expired license within 90 days of its date of expiration shall pay all the following fees:
(1) The renewal fee in effect at the time of renewal.
(2) A penalty fee equal to 50 percent of the renewal fee.
(3) The delinquency fee required by Section 2435 or 2499.5, as the case may be.
(c) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, the renewal of any expired physician’s and surgeon’s or podiatrist’s license within six months from its date of expiration shall be retroactive to the date of expiration of that license.
