Cal. Code Regs. Tit. 16, § 2010.05 - Fingerprint and Disclosure Requirements for Renewal of License
(a) As a condition
of renewal of a license, a veterinarian who was initially licensed prior to
January 1, 1960, a registered veterinary technician who was initially licensed
prior to January 1, 2004, or any licensee for whom an electronic record of the
submission of fingerprints no longer exists or was never created, shall furnish
to the Department of Justice a full set of fingerprints for the purpose of
conducting a criminal history record check and to undergo a state and federal
level criminal offender record information search conducted through the
Department of Justice.
(1) The licensee shall
pay any costs for furnishing the fingerprints and conducting the
searches.
(2) A licensee shall
certify on the renewal form whether his or her fingerprints have been furnished
to the Department of Justice in compliance with this section.
(3) This requirement is waived if the
licensee is renewed in an inactive status, or is actively serving in the
military outside the country.
(4) A
licensee shall retain, for at least three years from the renewal date, either a
receipt showing the electronic transmission of his or her fingerprints to the
Department of Justice or a receipt evidencing that the licensee's fingerprints
were taken.
(b) As a
condition of renewal, a licensee shall disclose to the Board whether, in the
prior renewal cycle, he or she has been convicted of any violation of the law
in this or any other state, the United States, or other country, omitting
traffic infractions not involving alcohol, dangerous drugs, controlled
substances or animals. In addition, a licensee shall disclose any disciplinary
actions against any of his or her licenses in this or any other
state.
(c) Failure to comply with
the requirements of this section renders any application for renewal incomplete
and the license will not be renewed until the licensee demonstrates compliance
with all requirements.
(d) Failure
to furnish a full set of fingerprints to the Department of Justice as required
by this section on or before the date required for renewal of a license is
grounds for discipline by the Board.
