If you receive the renewal notice less than 60 days before expiration, what penalties apply?

• A. Late renewal penalties apply
• B. Suspension
• C. No monetary penalties or fines shall apply
• D. Criminal penalties

Answer: (C)

The key idea is that timing of the renewal notice affects whether any financial penalty is charged for being late. If you receive the renewal notice less than 60 days before the license expires, there are no monetary penalties or fines assessed for late renewal. This rule recognizes that the delay came from the board’s notice timing rather than your action.

You should still proceed with renewing, but you won’t be hit with late fees just because the notice arrived late. Other issues, like a possible lapse if renewal isn’t completed and the license isn’t renewed, are separate concerns and could involve non-financial consequences, but purely financial penalties for the late notice do not apply.
