Colorado Revised Statutes Title 12. Professions and Occupations § 12-275-115. License renewal--questionnaire--continuing education

Current as of January 01, 2025 | Updated by Findlaw Staff

(1) Licenses issued under this article 275 are subject to the renewal, expiration, reinstatement, and delinquency fee provisions specified in section 12-20-202(1) and (2). Any person whose license has expired shall be subject to the penalties provided in this article 275 or section 12-20-202(1).

(2)(a) The board shall establish a questionnaire to accompany the renewal form. The board shall design the questionnaire to determine if the licensee has acted in violation of or has been disciplined for actions that might be considered as violations of this article 275 or that might make the licensee unfit to practice optometry with reasonable care and safety. The board shall include on the questionnaire a question regarding whether the licensee has complied with section 12-30-111 and is in compliance with section 12-280-403(2)(a). Failure of the applicant to answer the questionnaire accurately constitutes unprofessional conduct as specified in section 12-275-120.

(b) On and after July 1, 2024, as a condition of renewal of a license, each licensee shall attest that the licensee is in compliance with section 12-280-403(2)(a) and that the licensee is aware of the penalties for noncompliance with that section.

(3) Effective April 1, 1993, in addition to all other requirements of this section for license renewal, the board shall require that each optometrist seeking to renew a license shall have completed twenty-four hours of board-approved continuing education. Any optometrist desiring to renew a license to practice optometry in this state shall submit to the board the information the board believes is necessary to show that the optometrist has fulfilled the continuing education requirements of this subsection (3). Implementation of this subsection (3) shall occur within existing appropriations.
