Sec. 204.
(1) Unless otherwise provided in this act and subject to the limitations set forth in this section, the department shall renew the license or registration of a person who fulfills all of the following requirements:
(a) Has applied to the department on a form provided by the department for renewal of a license or registration. The application for renewal shall be received by the department on or before the date prescribed by the department for the expiration of the current license or registration.
(b) Has paid the appropriate fees prescribed in article 4.
(c) Has met the renewal requirements set forth in a specific article, rule, or an order issued under this act.
(2) Except as otherwise provided in this act, the department may renew the license or registration of a person who does not meet the requirements for renewal, if the person demonstrates to the satisfaction of the department and a board that the requirements for renewal as set forth in an article or rule do not constitute a fair and adequate measure of the person's knowledge and skills or that the requirements for renewal do not serve as an adequate basis for determining whether a person could continue to perform an occupation with competence. However, a requirement of attendance in a continuing education program shall not be waived as a requirement for the renewal. The procedure to be followed in obtaining a review of requirements for renewal by the director and a board is prescribed in article 5. The department shall not issue a license or registration under this subsection until the person seeking renewal pays the appropriate fees as prescribed in article 4.
(3) Except as otherwise provided in article 7, a license or registration renewed under this section may be renewed with a limitation. The department shall notify the appropriate board of the department's intent to impose a limitation on the renewal of a license of a person seeking license renewal in the occupation for which the board serves. The department may impose the limitation only with the approval of the notified board. However, if the notified board, within 30 days after receipt of the notification by the department, neither approves nor disapproves the imposition of a limitation, the department may impose the limitation. A person who receives a license or registration renewed with a limitation may receive a review of that limitation as provided in section 519.
(4) It is the responsibility of the licensee or registrant to renew a license or registration. The department shall send a renewal application to the last known address of a licensee or registrant on file with the department. The failure of a licensee or registrant to notify the department of a change of address shall not extend the expiration date of a license or registration and may result in disciplinary action.
