(a) To renew a VSF employee license an applicant must:(1) submit a completed application on a department-approved form;(2) pay the applicable fee required under §85.800;(3) successfully pass a criminal background check; and(4) if the applicant for renewal has within the preceding 12-month period tested positive for drugs under §85.725, the applicant must submit a negative drug test to the department.(b) To renew and maintain continuous licensure, the renewal requirements under this section must be completed prior to the expiration of the license. A late renewal means the licensee will have an unlicensed period from the expiration date of the expired license to the issuance date of the renewed license. During the unlicensed period, a person may not perform any duties of a VSF employee that requires a license under this chapter.(c) Non-receipt of a license renewal notice from the department does not exempt a person from any requirements of this chapter.
