Okla. Stat. tit. 59, § 59-887.12: Renewal of licenses

A. 1. Except as otherwise provided by the Physical Therapy

Practice Act, all licenses shall expire on January 31 of each year.

A license may be renewed during the month of January of each year

upon:

a. application,

b. evidence of satisfactory completion of a program of

continuing education or of alternative requirements,

as required by the State Board of Medical Licensure

and Supervision pursuant to subsection B of this

section, and

c. payment of fees.

2. Applications for renewal of licensure shall be sent by the

Board to all licensed physical therapists and physical therapist

assistants at their last-known address. Failure to renew a license

three (3) months after notification shall effect a forfeiture of the

license granted pursuant to the provisions of the Physical Therapy

Practice Act. Upon recommendation of the Board, a lapsed license

may be revived upon the payment of all unpaid registration fees and

pursuant to such rules as may be promulgated by the Board.

3. A physical therapist or physical therapist assistant who

fails to apply for a renewal of a license for five (5) years may

renew the license by complying with the provisions of the Physical

Therapy Practice Act relating to the issuance of an original

license.

B. For physical therapists and physical therapist assistants,

the Board shall establish by rule the requirements for:

1. A program of continuing education; and

2. Alternative requirements to establish continuing competence

to practice.

The Board shall also establish by rule the minimum hours of

continuing education needed to satisfy these requirements. In

establishing these requirements, the Board shall consider any

existing programs of continuing education currently being offered to

licensed physical therapists or physical therapist assistants.
