§1057. Renewals; requirements
A. Where the annual renewal fee required by R.S. 37:1056(1) is not paid on or before the first day of March, a delinquency fee of one hundred fifty dollars shall be imposed. Failure to pay the annual renewal fee and delinquency fee on or before the first day of July will provide a basis for the temporary suspension of a Louisiana optometry license. Payment of the license renewal fee made after the first day of July of each renewal year where the license has been suspended shall be accompanied by the one hundred fifty dollar delinquency fee, the one hundred fifty dollar reinstatement fee, as well as any costs or expenses, including attorney fees, which may be caused by the need for the institution of disciplinary proceedings, fines imposed in disciplinary proceedings, and all other applicable fees, including a license reinstatement fee. Failure to pay the annual renewal fee, delinquency fee or reinstatement fee on or before the first day of January of the year following the delinquency shall be cause for the board to revoke a Louisiana optometry license.
B. Where satisfactory evidence of compliance with the continuing education requirement, as required by R.S. 37:1056(2) is not submitted to the board on or before the first day of March, a delinquency fee of one hundred fifty dollars shall be imposed. Failure to submit satisfactory evidence of compliance with the continuing education requirement on or before the first day of July shall provide a basis for the temporary suspension of a Louisiana optometry license. Satisfactory evidence of compliance with the continuing education requirement provided to the board after the first day of July of each renewal year where the license has been suspended shall be accompanied by the one hundred fifty dollar delinquency fee, the one hundred fifty dollar reinstatement fee, as well as any cost or expenses, including attorney fees, which may be caused by the need for the institution of disciplinary proceedings, fines imposed in disciplinary proceedings, and all other applicable fees, including a license reinstatement fee. Failure to submit satisfactory evidence of compliance with the continuing education requirement on or before the first day of January of the year following the delinquency shall be cause for the board to revoke a Louisiana optometry license.
