§ 5.225. Renewal of authorization.
(a) At least 30 days prior to the expiration of the online training provider’s authorization, the online training provider shall submit an application for renewal of authorization, which will be provided by the PLCB.
(1) If the online training provider does not want to make material changes to the online training program from the last time it was approved by the PLCB, the online training provider shall certify that no material changes were made to the online training program after it was last approved by the PLCB. In addition, the online training provider shall submit a $600 fee with the online training provider’s application for renewal of authorization, as well as a separate fee for a criminal record check.
(2) If the online training provider wants to make material changes to the online training program, then a $850 fee must accompany the online training provider’s application for renewal of authorization, as well as a separate fee for a criminal record check. The online training provider shall use the online training program approved by the PLCB until the notice of authorization has been renewed. The online training provider shall submit hard copy screen shots of the online training program that incorporates the material changes. The online training provider shall submit no more than two screen shots per one side of an 8 1/2 by 11 inch piece of paper. The screen shots may be in color or black and white.
(b) Untimely applications for authorization renewal.
(1) The PLCB may accept an application for renewal of authorization that is filed less than 30 days before the expiration of the current authorization, but not after expiration, if the applicant includes an additional filing fee of $100.
(2) The PLCB will not accept an application for renewal of authorization that is filed after the expiration of the current authorization.
(3) As of the date of the expiration of an online training provider’s authorization, the following will no longer be valid:
(i) Training that is completed by a student after the date of expiration.
(ii) Any training vouchers issued by an online training provider that have not been redeemed and training completed.
(4) As of the date of the expiration of the online training provider’s authorization, the online training provider is prohibited from allowing public access to its online server/seller training for server/sellers in this Commonwealth.
(5) The PLCB will not accept, for a minimum of 1 year from the date of expiration, an application from an online training provider whose authorization has expired. Under these circumstances, a new application must be filed, not an application for renewal. Applications will only be accepted during a period of open enrollment, which shall be posted on the BAE’s page on the PLCB’s web site. See § 5.221(a) (relating to online training provider application).
