(1) Renewal dates are biennial. The first two-year renewal cycle will commence on April 1, 2008. Renewal is the responsibility of the licensee and although the department may send reminder notices to the last known address of the licensee, failure to receive such notices does not relieve licensees of their responsibility of renewal.

(2) The renewal form will contain a declaration made under the penalty of perjury of the laws of Montana attesting to having obtained the requisite continuing education.

(3) An audit of continuing education hours will be conducted by the department for each renewal cycle. Failure to obtain the requisite continuing education hours is grounds for license suspension or revocation.
