PUBLIC Law Chapter 204

(2) Require applicants for license or registration

renewal to present proof of satisfactory completion of

continuing professional or occupational education in

accordance with each bureau's, office's, board's or

commission's rules. Failure to comply with the

continuing education rules may, in the bureau's,

office's, board's or commission's discretion, result in

a decision to deny license or registration renewal or

may result in a decision to enter into a consent

agreement and probation setting forth terms and

conditions to correct the licensee's or registrant's

failure to complete continuing education. Terms and

conditions of a consent agreement may include requiring

completion of increased hours of continuing education,

civil penalties, suspension and other terms as the

bureau, office, board, commission, the licensee or

registrant and the Department of the Attorney General

determine appropriate. Notwithstanding any contrary

provision set forth in a bureau's, office's, board's or

commission's governing law, continuing education

requirements may coincide with the license or

registration renewal period;

(3) Refuse to renew a license or registration or deny
a license when the bureau, office, board or commission
finds a licensee or registrant to be in noncompliance
with a bureau, office, board or commission order or
consent agreement;

(4) Allow licensees or registrants to hold inactive
status licenses or registrations in accordance with
each bureau's, office's, board's or commission's rules.
The fee for an inactive license or registration may not
exceed the statutory fee cap established for the
bureau's, office's, board's or commission's license or
registration renewal set forth in its governing law; or

(5) Delegate to staff the authority to review and
approve applications for licensure pursuant to
procedures and criteria established by rule. Rules
developed pursuant to this subparagraph are routine
technical rules as described in Title 5, chapter 375,
subchapter ~~II-A~~ 2-A.
