SECTION 365:25-29-7. License term, renewals, fees

(a)   An application fee shall not be refundable if the application is denied, withdrawn, cancelled, or refused for any reason by either the applicant or the Commissioner.

(b)   The PBM license shall continue in force no longer than twelve (12) months from the original month of issuance. Upon filing a PBM license renewal application on a form provided by the Commissioner, a renewal license may be issued by the Commissioner to a PBM licensee which is in compliance with the act, has continuously maintained such license, and has paid a renewal fee of Five Hundred Dollars ($500.00).

(c)   If the PBM fails to timely apply for renewal of its license or fails to pay any applicable fees or outstanding fines by the last day of the month in which the license was originally issued, the license shall expire automatically. After expiration, the PBM license may be reinstated for up to one (1) year following the expiration date upon filing a PBM license renewal application on a form provided by the Commissioner and the payment of a reinstatement fee of One Thousand Dollars ($1,000.00). If after the one-year date the license has not been reinstated, the licensee shall be required to apply for a license as a new PBM licensee applicant.

(d)   In the event that the Commissioner declines to issue or renew a PBM license, the Commissioner shall notify the applicant or licensee of such declination and advise the applicant or licensee, in writing, of the reason for the declination. The applicant or licensee may make written demand upon the Commissioner within thirty (30) days of the date of notification by the Commissioner, for a hearing before the Commissioner or an independent hearing examiner appointed by the Commissioner to determine the existence of the grounds for the Commissioner's action. The hearing shall be held within a reasonable time period pursuant to the Oklahoma Administrative Procedures Act.
