1.  Requirements.  Prior to the expiration of a license, a licensee may make an application for renewal upon payment of the renewal fee as set under section 12514‑A and upon satisfactory demonstration of completion of continuing education requirements adopted by the board as a condition of renewal. It is not a condition of renewal that an applicant who qualified for licensure as a licensed registered nurse continue to be licensed as a registered nurse.  

2.  Late renewal.  An application made no more than 90 days past the date of expiration of a license must include a late fee in addition to the renewal fee as set under section 12514‑A. An application received more than 90 days past the expiration date is subject to all requirements covering new applicants under this chapter.
