Ohio Revised Code Title XLVII. Occupations Professions § 4755.10

Each license issued under section 4755.08 of the Revised Code is valid without further recommendation or examination until revoked or suspended or until the license expires for failure to file an application for renewal as provided for in this section.

Licenses shall be renewed biennially in accordance with the schedule established in rules adopted by the occupational therapy section of the Ohio occupational therapy, physical therapy, and athletic trainers board under section 4755.06 of the Revised Code. Applicants for renewal shall file the fee for renewal as provided in section 4755.12 of the Revised Code, an application for renewal on a form prescribed by the occupational therapy section, and proof of completion of continuing education requirements as provided in rules adopted by the section under section 4755.06 of the Revised Code. An application for renewal shall be mailed by the section to the licensee in accordance with the schedule established in rules adopted by the section under section 4755.06 of the Revised Code. In all other respects the renewal process is as provided in section 4745.02 of the Revised Code.

The license of any licensee who fails to file an application for renewal on or before the deadline established in rules adopted by the section under section 4755.06 of the Revised Code shall expire automatically, unless the section, for good cause shown, determines that the application for renewal could not have been filed by such day.

Except as provided in sections 3123.41 to 3123.50 of the Revised Code and any applicable rules adopted under section 3123.63 of the Revised Code, the section may renew a license while the license is suspended, but the renewal shall not affect the suspension. The section shall not renew a license that has been revoked. If a revoked license is reinstated under section 4755.11 of the Revised Code after it has expired, the licensee, as a condition of reinstatement, shall pay a reinstatement fee equal to the renewal fee in effect on the last preceding regular renewal date before the reinstatement date, plus any delinquent fees accrued from the time of the revocation, if such fees are prescribed by the section by rule.
