Section 4844.

A person who fails to renew his certificate of registration within five years after its expiration may not renew it, and it shall not be restored, reissued, or reinstated thereafter, but such person may apply for and obtain a new certificate of registration if:

(a) He is not subject to denial of registration under Section 480.

(b) No fact, circumstance, or condition exists which, if the certificate of registration were issued, would justify its revocation or suspension.

(c) He takes and passes the examination, if any, which would be required of him if he were then applying for a certificate of registration for the first time, or otherwise establishes to the satisfaction of the board that, with due regard for the public interest, he is qualified to be a registered animal health technician.

(d) He pays all of the fees that would be required of him if he were applying for the certificate of registration for the first time.

The board may, by regulation, provide for the waiver or refund of all or any part of the examination fee in those cases in which a certificate of registration is issued without an examination pursuant to the provisions of this section.
