(2) Licensees who do not provide documentation of completion of the continuing education requirement or receive a waiver shall not have their license(s), or appropriate endorsement(s), renewed until this requirement is satisfied.
(3) Licensees who provide documentation of completion of the continuing education requirement within the 12 months after their license expires may either pay the $100 late penalty fee or requalify for a new Water Supply Well Constructor’s License or endorsement in accordance with ORS 537.747(3). If a licensee fails to provide documentation of completion of the continuing education requirement within 12 months after expiration of their license or endorsement the person must comply with the requirements of ORS 537.747(3) for a new Water Supply Well Constructor’s License or endorsement.
