shall be admissible as prima facie evidence of such conviction. This record

include any written instructions communicated prior to the examination date and

All hair braider licenses, hair braiding salon licenses,
and hair braiding school licenses shall expire two years from the last day of
the month in which they were issued.
18VAC41-30-140. Notice of renewal. (Repealed.)
The Department of Professional and Occupational Regulation
will mail a renewal notice to the licensee outlining the procedures for
renewal. Failure to receive this notice, however, shall not relieve the licensee
of the obligation to renew. If the licensee fails to receive the renewal
notice, a copy of the old license may be submitted as evidence of intent to
renew, along with the required fee.
18VAC41-30-150. Failure to renew. (Repealed.)
A. When a licensed individual or entity fails to renew its
license within 30 days following its expiration date, the licensee shall apply for
reinstatement of the license by submitting to the Department of Professional
and Occupational Regulation a reinstatement application and renewal fee and
reinstatement fee.
B. When a hair braider fails to renew his license within
two years following the expiration date, reinstatement is no longer possible.
To resume practice, the former licensee shall apply for licensure as a new
applicant, shall meet all current application requirements, and shall pass the
board's current examination. Individuals applying for licensure under this
section shall be eligible to apply for a temporary license from the board under
18VAC41-30-80.
C. When a hair braiding salon fails to renew its license
within two years following the expiration date, reinstatement is no longer
possible. To resume practice, the former licensee shall apply for licensure as
a new applicant and shall meet all current application requirements.
D. The application for reinstatement for a hair braiding
school shall provide the reasons for failing to renew prior to the expiration
date, and a notarized statement that all students currently enrolled or seeking
to enroll at the school have been notified in writing that the school's license
has expired. All of these materials shall be called the application package.
Reinstatement will be considered by the board if the school consents to and
satisfactorily passes an inspection of the school by the Department of
Professional and Occupational Regulation and if the school's records are
maintained in accordance with 18VAC41-30-210 and 18VAC41-30-220. Pursuant to
18VAC41-30-160, upon receipt of the reinstatement fee, application package, and
inspection results, the board may reinstate the school's license or require
requalification or both. If the reinstatement application package and
reinstatement fee are not received by the board within six months following the
expiration date of the school's license, the board will notify the testing
service that prospective graduates of the unlicensed school are not acceptable
candidates for the examination. Such notification will be sent to the school
and must be displayed in a conspicuous manner by the school in an area that is
accessible to the public. No student shall be disqualified from taking the
examination because the school was not licensed for a portion of the time the
student attended if the school license is reinstated by the board.
When a hair braiding school fails to renew its license
within two years following the expiration date, reinstatement is no longer
possible. To resume practice the former licensee shall apply for licensure as a
new applicant and shall meet all current application requirements.
E. The date a renewal fee is received by the Department of
Professional and Occupational Regulation, or its agent, will be used to
determine whether the requirement for reinstatement of a license is applicable
and an additional fee is required.
F. When a license is reinstated, the licensee shall have
the same license number and shall be assigned an expiration date two years from
the previous expiration date of the license.
G. A licensee who reinstates his license shall be regarded
as having been continuously licensed without interruption. Therefore, a
licensee shall be subject to the authority of the board for activities
performed prior to reinstatement.
H. A licensee who fails to reinstate his license shall be
regarded as unlicensed from the expiration date of the license forward. Nothing
in this chapter shall divest the board of its authority to discipline a licensee
for a violation of the law or regulations during the period of time for which
the individual was licensed.
