Section 28-401.12. Renewal of license or certificate of competence

Applications for renewal of a license or certificate of competence shall
  be accompanied by the renewal fee and such additional information as the
  commissioner may require, and shall be made at least  30  calendar  days
  but not more than 60 calendar days prior to the expiration date of same.
  The  failure of an individual to renew his or her license or certificate
  of competence shall have the effect of cancellation of  the  license  or
  certificate  of  competence  upon  expiration, and the holder of a plate
  and/or seal issued by the department shall  immediately  surrender  such
  plate  and/or  seal  to  the  department.  A person who fails to renew a
  license or certificate of competence within the time period set forth in
  this section 28-401.12 may  apply  for  reinstatement  of  such  license
  pursuant  to section 28-401.13. The department may, following notice and
  an opportunity to be heard, refuse to renew a license or certificate  of
  competence  on  any grounds on the basis of which it could deny, suspend
  or revoke such license.
