(1) Fee. The nonrefundable application fee for a pharmacy support person registration shall be $25. The nonrefundable application fee for a pharmacy support person registration shall be submitted in the form of a personal check, certified check, cashier's check, or money order made payable to the Iowa Board of Pharmacy when submitted with a written application or by acceptable debit or credit card when submitted with an online application.

(2) Term. A pharmacy support person registration shall expire on the second last day of the birth month following initial registration. Registration shall not require continuing education for renewal.

(3) Renewal. A pharmacy support person registration shall be renewed prior to the expiration of the registration.

a. Delinquent registration grace period. A pharmacy support person registration which is not renewed prior to the expiration of the registration shall be considered delinquent. Renewal during the month following the expiration date of the registration shall include the nonrefundable registration fee pursuant to subrule 5.9(1) and a nonrefundable late penalty fee of $25. A registered pharmacy support person who renews during the month following the expiration date of the registration shall not be subject to disciplinary action for continuing to practice as a pharmacy support person during the delinquency of the registration.

b. Registration reactivation beyond grace period. If the registration is not renewed prior to the expiration of the one-month grace period identified in paragraph 5.9(3)"a," the individual shall cease practice as a pharmacy support person until the registration is reactivated. A pharmacy support person with an expired registration may apply for registration reactivation by submitting a completed application for reactivation and a nonrefundable reactivation fee of $100. An individual who continues employment as a pharmacy support person with an expired registration, in addition to the pharmacy and the pharmacist in charge that allow the individual to continue practice as a pharmacy support person, may be subject to disciplinary sanctions.

c. Voluntary cancellation. A registered pharmacy support person who ceases practice as a pharmacy support person and does not intend to renew the registration prior to its expiration may request that the board cancel the registration. If the pharmacy support person later seeks registration as a pharmacy support person, the individual shall not be assessed a late penalty fee or reactivation fee for renewal of the registration.
