An applicant for registration pursuant to this section must submit an application as prescribed by the board. C.

The board shall automatically suspend the registration of any registrant who fails to renew the registration on or before May 1 of the year in which the renewal is due. The board shall vacate a suspension if the registrant submits a renewal application. A suspended registrant is prohibited from accessing information in the prescription monitoring program database tracking system. D. A registrant shall not apply for registration renewal more than sixty days before the expiration date of the registration. E.
