Non-Compliance Penalties
An architect whose license is not renewed because of failure to comply with the continuing education requirement shall have two years from the expiration date of the license to restore the license by complying with all applicable continuing professional education requirements and paying the appropriate renewal and penalty fees. After the two-year restoration period, the licensee shall be required to apply as a new applicant, and meet the requirements in effect at that time.

Exceptions and Exemptions
An architect licensee shall not be subject to the continuing education requirement if the architect otherwise meets all other renewal requirements and:

• Is a member of the armed forces, national guard, or a reserve component on active duty and deployed during a state or national crisis as state or national crisis is defined in chapter 436B;
• Is ill or disabled for a significant period of time as documented by a licensed physician, and is unable to meet the continuing education requirements of this subsection;
• Can demonstrate undue hardship that prevented the licensee from meeting the continuing education requirements of this subsection; or
• Is retired from the practice of architecture and is no longer performing or providing architectural services; provided that any exemption from the continuing education requirements shall be subject to the board's approval.
