Licenses issued to partnerships expire on a date prescribed by the director by rule.

Licenses must be renewed every two years on or before the date established under this section and a biennial renewal license fee as prescribed by the director by rule must be paid.
If the application for a renewal license is not received by the director on or before the renewal date, a penalty fee as prescribed by the director by rule shall be paid. Acceptance by the director of an application for renewal after the renewal date shall not be a waiver of the delinquency.
The
license of any person whose license renewal fee is not received within one year
from the date of expiration shall be canceled. This person may obtain a new
license by satisfying the procedures and ((qualifications for initial
licensing, including the successful completion of any applicable examinations))
requirements as prescribed by the director by rule.
The director shall issue to each active licensee a license and a pocket identification card in such form and size as he or she shall prescribe."
