CHAPTER RAD 7

RENEWAL AND REINSTATEMENT

  RAD 7.02 Late renewal and reinstatement of a license or permit. Failure to renew a license or permit as required under s. RAD 7.01 shall cause the license or permit to expire. A radiographer or LXMO who allows a license or permit to expire may apply to the board for late renewal or reinstatement of the license or permit by completing one of the following:

  (1) Late renewal within 5 years. If a radiographer or LXMO applies for renewal within 5 years after the renewal date, the license or permit shall be renewed upon submission of the completed application and fee required under s. RAD 7.01, payment of the late fee under s. 440.08 (3) (a), Stats., and fulfillment of the continuing education requirements under ch. RAD 5.

(3) (a), this subsection does not apply to a radiographer or LXMO who has unmet disciplinary requirements or whose license or permit has been denied at renewal, surrendered, or revoked.

  (b) The board may waive any of the educational or examination requirements under par. (a) based on evidence satisfactory to the board that granting renewal of the license or permit would adequately protect public health, safety, and welfare.
