(a)(1) All certificates of licensure shall expire on December 31 of even-numbered years unless a licensed pharmacist pays a renewal fee in a specified amount set by the board, by rule. The fee shall not be less than twenty-five dollars ($25) nor more than one hundred fifty dollars ($150). The renewal fee shall be due on December 31 and shall entitle the registrants to renewal of their certificates at the discretion of the board. If any pharmacist fails to pay the renewal fee by December 31, the board in accordance with board rule, may impose a late fee which may not exceed ten dollars ($10) for each lapsed month. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the lapsed time of registration may not exceed five years, in which case reinstatement may occur only upon satisfactory examination by the board. (2) Notwithstanding subdivision (1), holders of life certificates to practice pharmacy previously issued shall not be required to pay a renewal fee. (b) In addition to any fee requirements, each pharmacist shall be required to complete continuing education for each renewal period, as determined by the board by rule.
