A licensee who fails to meet the continuing education requirements by the expiration date will have their license expire. Continuing education is a crucial component of maintaining a professional license, ensuring that individuals stay current with the latest developments and standards in their field.

When the continuing education requirements are not fulfilled, the license does not remain valid beyond its expiration date. This approach encourages licensees to prioritize their ongoing professional development and compliance with regulatory standards.

While suspension or revocation may occur under other circumstances, such as violations of law or ethical standards, simply failing to complete continuing education does not directly lead to either of those outcomes. Instead, the expiration of the license serves as a direct consequence, emphasizing the importance of meeting educational obligations to retain one's active status in their profession.
