(A) All permits shall expire one year from the date they are issued, except that an off-premises endorsement shall expire concurrently with the corresponding massage therapist permit.
(B) Applications for renewal of a permit shall be made 30 calendar days prior to the expiration date of the permit. As necessary to update the information contained within the last application or renewal thereof, application for renewal shall be in the same manner as the original application. However, to the extent that the information previously submitted to the Permit Administrator remains current, a statement to that effect shall be sufficient and no further information or documentation shall be required except as follows:
(1) Renewal of a reciprocal permit.
(a) Where the applicant seeks to renew a reciprocal permit, application for renewal shall include evidence that the underlying massage therapist permit has been renewed by the issuing jurisdiction and that it remains valid and current.
(b) For renewal of a reciprocal permit, the permittee shall pay a non-refundable renewal application fee of $10 to help defray the expense of administering this chapter.
(c) A reciprocal permit shall not be renewed if the underlying massage therapist permit has expired and has not been renewed, or the underlying permit has been revoked, or is otherwise no longer valid. If renewal of a reciprocal permit is denied because the underlying permit is no longer valid, permittee shall submit a complete, original application and comply with all submission requirements set out above for application for an original massage therapist permit. All such applications shall include an explanation of the reason that the reciprocal permit is no longer valid.
(2) Renewal of original permits.
