(1) A license shall be renewed on or before
the expiration date of the license by submitting the completed renewal form
along with the renewal fee. Failure of a licensee to receive the notice and
application to renew the license shall not excuse the licensee from the
requirements of section

license.
(2) Receipt of the renewal
form and fee postmarked after the expiration date of the license shall cause
the license to become not current and a licensee who continues to practice
without a valid license shall be deemed to be practicing in violation of
sections 324.475 to
324.499, RSMo and subject to the
penalties contained therein.
(3)
Prior to the expiration date of the license and as a condition of the license
renewal, a licensed acupuncturist shall complete thirty (30) hours of
continuing education within the two (2)-year licensure period. Continuing
education shall be related to the practice of acupuncture and include universal
precautions/infection control and cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR)
certification. For the first year of licensure continuing education hours shall
not be required.

submit an application to restore a license that has been expired for not more
than two (2) years after the expiration date. The application shall be
submitted in compliance with
