(a) To renew a breeder license, a person must:
  (1) submit a completed application in a manner prescribed by the department;
  (2) provide a valid state sales tax identification number;
  (3) provide the name and address of each controlling person;
  (4) successfully pass a criminal background check for each applicant and controlling person;
  (5) be in compliance with all commission or department orders directed to the applicant or a controlling person; and
  (6) pay the fee required under §91.80.
(b) To renew and maintain continuous licensure, the renewal requirements under this section must be completed before the expiration of the license. A late renewal means the person will have an unlicensed period from the expiration date of the expired license to the issuance date of the renewed license. During the unlicensed period, a person may not perform any functions of a breeder that require a license under this chapter.
(c) Non-receipt of a license renewal notice from the department does not exempt a person from any requirements of this chapter.
