• Certification alternative/equivalency: The renewal requirement may be satisfied by proof of recertification by a national certification organization that mandates an annual minimum of fifteen (15) hours or by successful completion of a recognized continuing competency recognition program (this is listed as an alternative to the 30-hour rule).

• Carryover & repeat-course rules: The rules state that credit for teaching the same topic may be obtained only once; otherwise the Board does not specify general carryover limits. No information found on carryover (credit rollover) from one cycle to the next.

• Documentation & audit: Licensees must obtain and retain documentation from the sponsoring organization of participation and retain CE documentation for a minimum of four (4) years; failure to provide evidence on request is grounds for suspension, revocation, or refusal to renew.

• Renewal logistics: Renewal fees are set in the rules (for Clinical Laboratory Technician the renewal fee is $31.25), renewal notices are mailed in November of odd-numbered years, and applications with fees are due by Dec 31 of each odd-numbered year for renewal; renewed licenses take effect Jan 2 and expire Jan 1 of the next even-numbered year. (Specific grace periods or reactivation CE rules are not described in the continuing-education section.)

• Out-of-state / multi-license credit: An individual holding more than one license under these rules needs to earn only thirty (30) continuing education credits every two (2) years. For acceptance of CE completed for other states, the rules accept national-level activities and recognized program providers but do not lay out a broad interstate reciprocity policy in the continuing-education section.
