§ 1261.1a. License renewal--Continuing education--Reapplication
C. The Board shall also provide procedures by rule to ensure that license renewal candidates maintain the qualifications to practice social work, as set forth in this act.1
D. If a social worker fails to make application to the Board for renewal of a license within a period of ninety (90) days after the expiration of the license, such person must reapply as an initial applicant for licensure and pass the current licensure examination; however, a person who has been licensed under the laws of this state and the license has expired, but who has continually practiced social work in another state under a license issued by the authority of such state, may renew the license upon completion of the continuing education requirements set forth by the Board and payment of the designated fee.
E. Any licensee who allows their license to expire after January 1, 2012, shall, in addition to any other requirements for reinstatement, be required to submit to a national criminal history record check as defined by Section 150.9 of Title 74 of the Oklahoma Statutes, and pay the fee for the record check. However, the individual shall be allowed to practice with the expired license pending receipt by the Board of a complete and satisfactory national criminal history record check. If the Board does not receive two classifiable sets of fingerprints taken by a local, state or federal law enforcement agency or a civilian entity approved by the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation and the required fee within thirty (30) days from the date the license was reinstated, the license shall be suspended until receipt by the Board of the sets of fingerprints and the fee for the record check.
