The fee must be paid by licensees, including those with licenses on inactive or delinquent status, regardless of discipline imposed including suspension, but does not apply to those with a temporary certificate or retired status.
(2) Failure to timely pay the one-time assessment is a violation of Section 467.203(1)(j), F.S., and this rule. After December 31, 2008, no delinquent or inactive status license shall be reinstated or reactivated until the fee is paid.
(3) The department shall notify licensees of the assessment by postcard at their address of record no later than August 1, 2008, but not receiving notice does not excuse a failure to comply. The licensure application package shall include notice or a copy of this rule for those who are licensed between August 1 and December 15, 2008.
