Or. Admin. Code § 833-050-0131 - Associate Registration Renewal
(1) A registered associate must renew registration annually
each year following initial registration. Annual renewal is due by the first
day of the month of initial registration to be considered timely.
(2) Registration renewal requires the registered associate to
submit an application for registration renewal in a form and manner prescribed
by the Board, which must include the renewal fee, complete and truthful
responses to all of the questions regarding character and fitness, clinical
supervised experience, registrant's current information and status, and any
other questions.
(3) Late Renewal. A registered associate may renew a
registration after the first day of the month but within the renewal month by,
in addition to completing the requirement in section (2) above, submitting to
the Board the required delinquent fee. If these are not timely submitted, then
the associate registration will be expired. Expired registered associates must
reapply pursuant to OAR 833-020-0071 in order to practice as a registered
associate or be considered for licensure.
(4) Renewal may be denied if any of the conditions of the plan
are not being met.
(5) Registered associates must renew registration annually
until being granted a license or the expiration or denial of associate
registration.
(6) When a former registered associate who has allowed their
registration to lapse continues to practice in violation of ORS 675.825(1)(d),
the Board may treat each 90-day increment of unlicensed practice (or any part
thereof) as a separate violation for purposes of imposing a sanction pursuant
to ORS 675.745(4).
