A. An applicant who meets the requirements for certification or licensure pursuant to the provisions of the Licensed Alcohol and Drug Counselors Act, pays the required certification or license fees, and otherwise complies with the provisions of the Licensed Alcohol and Drug Counselors Act shall be certified or licensed by the Oklahoma Board of Licensed Alcohol and Drug Counselors.
B. Each initial certificate or license issued pursuant to the Licensed Alcohol and Drug Counselors Act shall expire twelve (12) months from the date of issuance unless sooner revoked.
C. 1. A certificate or license may be renewed annually upon application and payment of fees. The application for renewal shall be accompanied by evidence satisfactory to the Board that the applicant has satisfied relevant professional or continuing education requirements during the previous twelve (12) months.
2. Failure to renew a certificate or license shall result in forfeiture of the rights and privileges granted by the certificate or license.
D. A person whose certificate or license has expired may make application to the Board, in writing, within one (1) year following the expiration date of the certificate or license requesting reinstatement in a manner prescribed by the Board and upon payment of the fees required by the provisions of the Licensed Alcohol and Drug Counselors Act. The certificate or license of a person whose certificate or license has been expired for more than one (1) year shall not be reinstated. A person may reapply for a new certificate or license as provided in Section 7 of this act.
E. A certified or licensed alcohol and drug counselor whose certificate or license is current and in good standing and who wishes to retire the certificate or license may do so by informing the Board in writing and returning the certificate or license to the Board.
