Is late license renewal really such a big deal?
Short: If you do not renew your license before 6/30/2008, it will lapse. As long as your license is lapsed, you may not practice acupuncture in Oregon. You will also be assessed a $75 late fee when you do renew. Plus you may have to reactivate your license which will include an additional fee. Long: It can be. If you are practicing acupuncture between the time your license lapses (midnight, June 30, 2008) and the time you renew, you are technically committing a felony by practicing acupuncture without a license. The Board may have grounds for taking disciplinary action against your license. Disciplinary actions by the Board are public information. Back 19.
