## Chapter 61.5-03-03 — Verification of Compliance

### § 61.5-03-03-01. Verification of compliance.

1. At the January license renewal deadline immediately following their two-year continuing
competence cycle, registrants shall provide attestation to completing the continuing
competence activities taken and indicating compliance with the required twenty-five units of
continuing competence. The board, in its discretion, may require additional evidence
necessary from a licensee to verify compliance.
2. The board shall periodically select a sample of ten percent of licensees each year for
evidence of continuing competence to which they have attested. Documentation may come
directly from the licensee or from state or national organizations that maintain those types of
records.
3. A person who claims extenuating circumstances in not being able to meet the continuing
competence requirements shall petition the board for consideration of those special
conditions.
4. Licensees applying for licensure in North Dakota for the first time from other states or
countries who do not have twenty-five units of continuing competence within the last two years
will be required to complete thirteen units of continuing competence within a year of their initial
licensure in North Dakota, and will thereafter be on the two-year continuing competence cycle
provided in these rules.
