Sec. 242.313.  LICENSES;  TEMPORARY LICENSE;  INACTIVE STATUS.  (a)  A person who meets the requirements for licensing under this subchapter is entitled to receive a license.  A nursing facility administrator's license is not transferable.
(b)  A person licensed under this subchapter must notify the board of the license holder's correct mailing address.
(c)  A license is valid for two years.  The board by rule may adopt a system under which licenses expire on various dates during the two-year period.  For the year in which a license expiration date is changed, license fees payable on the original expiration date shall be prorated on a monthly basis so that each license holder shall pay only that portion of the license fee that is allocable to the number of months during which the license is valid.  On renewal of the license on the new expiration date, the total license renewal fee is payable.
(d)  The board by rule may provide for the issuance of a temporary license.  Rules adopted under this section shall include a time limit for a licensee to practice under a temporary license.
(e)  The board by rule may provide for a license holder to be placed on inactive status.
