What is the penalty for late renewal that is over one year but under five years?

The penalty for late renewal of an esthetician's license in North Dakota, when the renewal is more than one year but less than five years overdue, is indeed set at $150. This penalty is established in the context of maintaining regulatory standards for licensed professionals.

The rationale for the specified amount likely aligns with the state’s approach to encourage timely renewals while still providing a manageable penalty for those who may have missed the renewal deadline. By setting a specific financial consequence, the state ensures that licensees are incentivized to stay current with their licensing requirements, thereby promoting public safety and professionalism within the field of esthetics.

It should be noted that penalties may vary based on how far past due the renewal is, with higher penalties possibly applicable for renewals that exceed five years, reflecting a greater lapse in compliance. This structured penalty system underscores the importance of adherence to licensing laws in North Dakota.
