                        A BILL FOR AN ACT
Relating to fees assessed by State Board of Chiropractic
  Examiners; amending ORS 684.090.
Be It Enacted by the People of the State of Oregon:
  SECTION 1. ORS 684.090 is amended to read:
  684.090. (1) In addition to meeting the requirements of ORS
684.092, each person practicing chiropractic within this state
shall, on or before August 1 of each year after a license is
issued to the person, pay to the State Board of Chiropractic
Examiners an annual registration fee not to exceed   { - $250 - }
 { +  $300 + }, as determined by the State Board of Chiropractic
Examiners and approved by the Oregon Department of Administrative
Services. The maximum annual registration fee for one not engaged
in active practice shall not exceed   { - $150 - }  { +
$175 + }, as determined by the board and approved by the Oregon
Department of Administrative Services.  A person engaged in a
limited active practice shall pay to the board an annual license
fee not to exceed 75 percent of the annual active license fee.
The board, on or before July 1 of each year, shall cause to be
mailed to the last-known professional address of all licensed
chiropractors in this state a notice of the requirements of ORS
684.092 and that the registration fee will be due on or before
August 1 next following. The annual registration fee shall be
payable only by personal, corporate or certified check or by
money order. As used in this subsection, 'limited active
practice' means a practice engaged in by a person who is over 60
years of age, has been in practice over 25 years and meets such
other requirements as determined by the board.
  (2) The failure, neglect or refusal of any person holding a
license or certificate to practice under this chapter to pay the
annual fee and to show compliance with or exemption from the
requirement of ORS 684.092 during the time the license remains in
 
force shall cause the license to expire after a period of 30 days
from August 1 of the year for which the failure occurs.
  (3) The licenses not renewed on time shall not be renewed
except upon written application and a payment to the board of the
fee for the license category plus a delinquent fee of $100 for
each week or portion thereof, not to exceed $500, and upon
compliance with or exemption from the requirements of ORS
684.092.  A licentiate who pays the annual renewal fee and shows
compliance or exemption within 12 months of the expiration date
of the license shall not be required to submit to an examination
for the reissuance of a license.
  (4) The license of any licentiate who fails to renew the
license within one year from August 1 preceding shall be renewed
only upon written application, the payment to the board of the
annual registration fee plus one-half of that fee and successful
completion of the examination authorized under ORS 684.050.
  (5) Any person whose license application was denied or whose
license has been revoked or suspended and whose license
privileges are granted or restored may receive the license for
the year in which the privilege is granted or restored upon
payment of the annual registration fee for the license category
plus one-half thereof.
