Would it be grounds to deny a renewal?
I don’t know why they remove the penalty and cannot prosecute, but still keep the requirement in place.
It seems it is not the same as removing the requirement.
(e) The department shall renew the license of a license holder who meets all the eligibility requirements to continue to hold a license and submits all the renewal materials described by Subsection (a).
I don't know why they kept the requirement in the law. It's counter intuitive.
