A. Any roofing contractor registration certificate issued under the Roofing Contractor Registration Act may be renewed for each successive year by obtaining from the registrar a certificate of renewal. To obtain a certificate of renewal, the qualifying party shall file with the registrar a renewal application by the last day of the birth month of the qualifying party each successive year, provide any qualifying party information required under the Roofing Contractor Registration Act, Section 1151.5, not previously provided by the applicant, if any, and pay the renewal fee. The application for renewal shall require statements under oath that the qualifying party and legal entity have properly submitted income and employment taxes due in this state; whether or not the qualifying party has been adjudicated by a court of competent jurisdiction for any violation of the Roofing Contractor Registration Act or any act or omission specified in subsection A of Section 1151.14 of this title. The registrar may forward a copy of any information in an application for renewal to the Oklahoma Tax Commission and any other state agency.

B. The qualifying party shall include with the renewal application a copy of the certificate of liability insurance, unless the registrar has a current valid certificate of insurance on file, proof of workers' compensation coverage, unless exempt under the Workers' Compensation Act, and, if applicable, a copy of the current registration certificate required by law for roofing contractors. The renewal application shall be notarized.

C. The registrar shall refuse to renew a roofing contractor's registration certificate for any reason stated in subsection B of Section 1151.5 of this title or for failing to provide any qualifying party information required under the Roofing Contractor Registration Act not previously provided by the applicant. The registrar shall notify the applicant in writing if the registrar denies the renewal as provided in subsection C of Section 1151.5 of this title.

D. If any roofing contractor fails to file a renewal application by the deadline of the last day of the birth month of the qualifying party, that contractor's registration shall be not in good standing. A roofing contractor has a thirty-day grace period after the last day of the birth month of the qualifying party to renew the registration certificate without a late fee. The late fee shall be One Hundred Dollars ($100.00). A roofing contractor registration certificate not renewed within sixty (60) days of the last day of the birth month of the qualifying party shall be suspended for failure to renew, and if a roofing contractor's registration certificate still has not been renewed within six (6) months of expiration, it shall be revoked for failure to renew.

E. 1. A roofing contractor desiring to renew a registration certificate that has been suspended for any cause provided in this act shall be assessed a fee equal to twice the amount of the fee established by subsection D of Section 1151.8 of this title.

2. The registrar shall assess a reinstatement fee not exceeding Three Hundred Dollars ($300.00) to be set by the registrar plus the fee established by Section 1151.8 of this title for any registration that has been revoked for any cause provided in the Roofing Contractor Registration Act.

3. A roofing contractor submitting an application for registration after suspension or revocation of that contractor's registration certificate must be otherwise eligible for registration under the Roofing Contractor Registration Act.

F. The registrar shall include a registration status notation in a roofing contractor's record if the status of registration changes from an active and valid registration to not in good standing, denied, suspended or revoked.
