Failure to complete this assessment within 60 days after the date of expiration of the certificate may result in disciplinary action under Section 7860, but shall not affect the renewal of the certificate.

The material shall be based on state law and the board’s rules and regulations relating to the practice of professional geologists and geophysicists. The scope of the assessment shall be limited to the board’s top five types of violations related to the administrative and procedural aspects of the practice of professional geologists and geophysicists and any changes or additions to existing law related to such administrative and procedural aspects.
