"Statute: Vermont Statutes Title 26, Chap 71, §3355, Eligibility.

Licensees shall pay to the board a renewal fee determined by the secretary of administration and finance. The board may require specific continuing education as a condition of license renewal. The board may provide for the late renewal of a license that has lapsed and may require the payment of a late fee, an examination, continuing education, and supervised experience before issuing the renewed license. For purposes of implementing the transition to birthday renewals, for licenses renewing on or about January 2006, the board may issue licenses that expire in less than 2 years.

For each renewal period, each physical and occupational therapy professional's continuing competency points must include two points in ethics, laws and regulations governing practice in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, or some combination thereof. Provided, however, that no sooner than four years following April 29, 2022, the Board will review the continuing competence offerings in ethics and law and regulations governing practice in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts in order to assess the continued validity of this mandated subject-matter material, including the breadth, depth, and variety of materials offered to licensees as well as compliance with its mandate. For new physical therapy or occupational therapy professionals licensed by examination, this continuing competence requirement commences following their first renewal period after initial licensure. (2) Board-approved continuing competence activities must relate to the science or contemporary clinical practice of physical therapy or occupational therapy and to the licensee's current or anticipated professional roles and responsibilities of the following type and variety. (a) Publication.

Subsequent instruction and presentation of courses, workshops or seminars will be awarded ½ the respective value of points. (c) Academic Coursework. Fully completed academic coursework, by the licensee, from an accredited, degreegranting institution of higher education may be submitted for no more than six of the required 24 points for activities to maintain continuing competence per renewal period, with one point per academic credit awarded by the accredited degree-granting institution of higher education. (d) Continuing Competence Programs. Fully completed continuing competence programs may be submitted for up to 24 points, one point per contact hour or equivalent as awarded by the provider. (e) Other continuing competence activities approved by the American Occupational Therapy Association, Inc. or the American Physical Therapy Association may be submitted for no more than six of the required 24 points for activities to maintain continuing competence per renewal period. (3) Only those continuing competence activities which are completed during the required continuing competence period, 24 months prior to each renewal date, will be acceptable as qualifying continuing competence activities for that period.
