Each Mississippi Certified Interior Designer who desires to renew a certificate pursuant to this chapter must submit to the board and IDAC: (a) the biennial certification renewal fee as set by rules and regulations; and (b) the certification renewal application, which shall require certification of compliance with continuing education requirements. The renewal fee shall be due and payable on the first day of January of each year in which the fee is required to be paid and shall become delinquent after January 31 of that year. If the renewal fee is not paid before it becomes delinquent, a penalty shall be assessed in an amount per month as set by the board and IDAC. Upon failure to renew a certificate during the month of January of the renewal year, the certificate shall be rendered inactive at midnight on January 31 of the renewal year. A person with an inactive status certification is not allowed to use the title of Certified Interior Designer. If the renewal fee and penalty are not paid before June 1 of the year in which they become due, the Mississippi Certified Interior Designer’s certificate shall no longer be eligible for renewal. A certificate rendered nonrenewable due to delinquency may be considered for reinstatement upon: (a) the payment of the reinstatement fee, as set by the board and IDAC; (b) receipt of the completed certificate reinstatement application; and (c) such other proof of the applicant’s qualifications as may be required in the discretion of the board and IDAC. The board shall make available an acknowledgement of certification renewal or reinstatement to each Mississippi Certified Interior Designer promptly upon payment of the renewal fee or upon payment for and approval of the application for reinstatement.
