Approved February 15, 1960

Be it enacted by the General Assembly of Virginia:

1. That § 54-81 of the Code of Virginia be amended and reenacted
as follows:

§ 54-31. Certificates of registration shall expire on the last day of
December following their issuance or renewal, and shall become invalid
on that date unless renewed. It shall be the duty of the secretary of
the Board to notify by mail every person certified hereunder of the date
of the expiration of his certificate, and the amount of the fee required
for its renewal for one year. Such notice shall be mailed at least one
month in advance of the date of the expiration of the certificate. Re-
newal may be effected at any time during the month of January by the
payment to the secretary of the Board of a fee of five dollars *. Upon
the failure of any such registrant to renew his certificate annually in
the month of January, as required above, his certificate to practice shall
be revoked but such certificate shall be renewed at any time prior to
December thirty-first of such year upon the payment of a fee of ten
dollars *. Should the certificate not be renewed as provided above, the
applicant may be required to present reasons why such certificate should
be renewed. The Board may then in its discretion grant a renewal of
such certificate or may require reexamination. The application fee shall
be fifteen dollars under these circumstances.
