sec.20Renewal of unrestricted licence

### sec.20 Renewal of unrestricted licence A licensee may apply to the chief executive for the renewal of an unrestricted licence before the licence ends. If, before or when the application is made, the chief executive requires the payment of costs under section 12AA (1) , the application must be accompanied by the amount of the costs required to be paid. If an application for renewal of an unrestricted licence is made, the chief executive must renew the licence unless the chief executive refuses to renew it under section 22 or 28 (2) . Despite subsection (2) , but without limiting section 22 , if either of the following has been charged with a disqualifying offence, the chief executive may defer making a decision to renew or to refuse to renew the unrestricted licence until the end of the proceeding for the charge— the applicant; another person required to be an appropriate person for the grant of the unrestricted licence. A renewal begins at the end of the day on which, apart from its renewal, the unrestricted licence would have ended. A renewal is for the term, of 1 year or 3 years, specified in the renewed licence. If an application is made under subsection (1) for the renewal of an unrestricted licence and the chief executive has not, before the licence ends, decided whether to renew the licence, the licence is taken to continue in force until the day— the chief executive renews, or refuses to renew, the licence; or the licensee withdraws the application for renewal. A requirement mentioned in subsection (1A) is sufficiently made of the applicant if it is made generally of applicants in the approved form or notified on the department’s web site. An application for renewal of an unrestricted licence may be considered by the chief executive only if each relevant person for the application is agreeable to having his or her fingerprints taken by the Commissioner under section 27 , unless the Commissioner already holds the relevant person’s fingerprints taken under section 27 . If a regulation prescribes a fee for taking a relevant person’s fingerprints under section 27 , the application must be accompanied by the fee for each relevant person for the application. However, subsection (8) does not apply if the Commissioner already holds the relevant person’s fingerprints taken under section 27 . If a relevant person’s fingerprints are not taken under section 27 for the application, the chief executive must refund to the applicant any fee paid under subsection (8) for the relevant person for the application. s 20 amd 1999 No. 63 s 87 ; 2003 No. 94 s 86 ; 2007 No. 15 s 23 ; 2008 No. 69 s 91 ; 2010 No. 54 s 63 (sec.20-ssec.1) A licensee may apply to the chief executive for the renewal of an unrestricted licence before the licence ends.
