Missouri Revised Statutes Title XVII. Agriculture and Animals § 281.055. Late renewal of license, penalty, reexamination, when--director to provide guideline book, fee for book

1. If the application for renewal of any license, certification or permit provided for in this chapter is not filed prior to expiration date in any year, a penalty of twenty-five percent shall be assessed and added to the original fee and shall be paid by the applicant before the license, certification or permit shall be renewed; provided, that such penalty shall not apply if the applicant furnishes an affidavit certifying that he has not engaged in the business subsequent to the expiration of his license, certification or permit. Any person holding a current valid license, certification or permit may renew the license, certification or permit for the next year without taking another examination unless the director determines that additional knowledge related to classifications for which the applicant has applied makes a new examination necessary. However, if the license is not renewed within sixty days following the date of expiration then the licensee shall be required to satisfy all the requirements of licensure as if such person was never licensed.

2. The director may promulgate reasonable regulations requiring additional training and instruction on the part of any applicant for a license issued under sections 281.010 to 281.115.

3. The director shall have prepared for prospective licensee's use, a book of guidelines of factual necessary information related to the requirements of sections 281.010 to 281.115. A reasonable fee may be collected for said publication.
