AS 08.32.071: Renewal of license.

At least 60 days before expiration of a dental hygienist's license, the Department of Commerce, Community, and Economic Development shall notify the licensed dental hygienist. Each licensee who wishes to renew a dental hygienist's license shall submit a completed license renewal form, the appropriate fee, and evidence of continued professional competence as required by the board. The Department of Commerce, Community, and Economic Development shall, as soon as practicable, issue a dental hygienist license valid for a stated number of years. Failure to receive notification from the department under this section does not exempt a licensee from renewing the licensee's dental hygienist license.
