SDCL § 36-33-50: Renewal of license.

Any licensee holding a license issued under the provisions of this chapter may renew that license by submitting an application for renewal before the date of expiration, paying the required renewal fee, and providing proof of compliance with the continuing education requirements prescribed by the board. If a licensee fails to renew a license on or before the thirtieth day of November in an even-numbered year, the license is automatically suspended.

The board shall notify the licensee that a renewal application has not been received by the board and that the licensee may not practice counseling. Any person who submits a license renewal application and provides proof of compliance with the continuing education requirements set by the board within thirty days after the expiration date may be granted a license renewal.
