61-10-19. Annual renewal of license; certificate; fee. (Repealed effective July 1, 2016.)
A. All persons legally licensed to practice osteopathic medicine and surgery in this state shall, on or before July 1 of each year, submit proof of completion of continuing education requirements as required by the board and pay to the secretary of the board an annual renewal fee as provided in Section 61-10-6.1 NMSA 1978 for the renewal of his license to practice osteopathic medicine and surgery. Upon payment of fees and proof of completion of continuing education requirements, the board shall issue a certificate of annual renewal of license.
B. The secretary of the board shall send a written notice to every person holding a legal certificate to practice osteopathic medicine in this state at least thirty days prior to July 1 of each year, directed to the last known address of licensee, and notify him that it will be necessary for him to pay the annual renewal fee. Proper forms shall accompany the notice, and the licensee shall make application for the renewal of his certificate on these forms. The fact that a practitioner has not received his blank form from the board shall not, however, relieve him of the duty to register on or before July 1 nor shall the board's failure to mail the forms operate to exempt him from the penalties provided in Chapter 61, Article 10 NMSA 1978.
