      AND PENALTIES -- CONTINUING EDUCATION.
         1.  Licenses issued by the board shall expire in intervals as
      determined by the board.
         2.  A license issued under this chapter may be renewed as provided
      by rule adopted by the board upon application by the licensee,
      without examination.  Applications for renewal shall be made to the
      board, accompanied by the required renewal licensing fee, at least
      thirty days prior to the expiration date of the license.
         3.  The board shall notify each licensee by mail at least sixty
      days prior to the expiration of a license.
         4.  Failure to renew a license within a reasonable time after the
      expiration of the license shall not invalidate the license, but a
      reasonable penalty may be assessed as adopted by rule, in addition to
      the license renewal fee, to allow reinstatement of the license.
         5.  The board shall, by rule, establish a reinstatement process
      for a licensee who allows a license to lapse, including reasonable
      penalties.
         6.  The board shall establish continuing education requirements
      pursuant to section 272C.2.  The basic continuing education
      requirement for renewal of a license shall be the completion, during
      the immediately preceding license term, of the number of classroom
      hours of instruction required by the board in courses or seminars
      which have been approved by the board.  The board shall require at
      least eight classroom hours of instruction during each licensing
      term.
