| (a) The department shall employ an audit system for
continuing education reporting. The licensee shall be responsible
for maintaining a record of the licensee's continuing education experiences.
The certificates, diplomas, or other documentation verifying earning
of continuing education hours are not to be forwarded to the department
at the time of renewal unless the licensee has been selected for audit.
(b) The audit process shall be as follows:
(1) The department shall select for audit a random
sample of licensees for each renewal month. Licensees will be notified
of the continuing education audit when they receive their renewal
documentation.
(2) If selected for an audit, the licensee shall submit
copies of certificates, transcripts, or other documentation satisfactory
to the department, verifying the licensee's attendance, participation,
and completion of the continuing education. All documentation must
be provided at the time of renewal.
(3) Failure to timely furnish this information or providing
false information during the audit process or the renewal process
are grounds for disciplinary action against the licensee.
(4) A licensee who is selected for continuing education
audit may renew through the online renewal process. However, the license
will not be considered renewed until required continuing education
documents are received, accepted, and approved by the department.
(5) Licenses will not be renewed until continuing education
requirements have been met.
