Ark. Code Ann. § 17-38-308: Expiration and renewal

(a) All licenses shall be renewed annually within thirty (30) days after the expiration date of the license. The Department of Health may renew a license after the thirty-day period if there is sufficient reason for not renewing the license in the time specified and after payment of penalties as prescribed by rule.

(b) The department may set a system of staggered expiration dates for all licenses issued by the department.

(c) The department may issue permits for less than one (1) year. The cost of such permits shall be determined based upon the number of months the permit is valid divided by twelve (12) months multiplied by the amount of the annual permit fee.
