(a)A person licensed by the commission under Chapter 1102 may renew the license by timely filing the prescribed application for renewal, paying the appropriate fee to the commission and satisfying applicable continuing education requirements as required by Chapter 1102, and by §535.218 of this title (relating to Continuing Education), and providing to the commission proof of professional liability insurance, or any other insurance that provides coverage for violations of Subchapter G of Chapter 1102, with a minimum limit of $100,000 per occurrence as required by §535.211 of this title (relating to Professional Liability Insurance) and §1102.203 of Chapter 1102. (b)A licensee also may renew an unexpired license by accessing the commission's Internet web site, entering the required information on the renewal application form, satisfying applicable education and professional liability insurance, or any other insurance that provides coverage for violations of Subchapter G of Chapter 1102 requirements and paying the appropriate fee in accordance with the instructions provided at the site by the commission. (c)The commission shall send a renewal notice to each licensee at least 90 days prior to the expiration of the license. An apprentice inspector or a real estate inspector must be sponsored by a licensed professional inspector in order to renew a license on an active status. It is the responsibility of the licensee to apply for renewal, and failure to receive a renewal notice does not relieve the licensee of the responsibility of applying for renewal. (d)A licensee shall provide information requested by the commission in connection with an application to renew a license within 30 days after the commission requests the information. Failure to provide information requested by the commission in connection with a renewal application within the required time is grounds for disciplinary action under §1101.656 of the Act. (e)Licensed professional inspectors, real estate inspectors and apprentice inspectors may renew a license on inactive status. Inspectors are not required to complete continuing education courses as a condition of renewing a license on inactive status but must satisfy continuing education requirements before returning to active status. (f)If the license has expired, the licensee may not renew but must file an original application to reinstate the license and may not practice until the new license is received. If the applicant for reinstatement has held a professional inspector or real estate inspector license during the 24 months preceding the date the application is filed, no examination is required.
This agency hereby certifies that the adoption has
been reviewed by legal counsel and found to be a valid exercise of
the agency's legal authority.
