Subpart 1.

Establishment.

For the purpose of administering this chapter, each individual initially licensed on or after June 4, 1984, commences his or her first three-year cycle on January 1 following the date of initial licensure. After January 1, 1991, the cycle of an individual starting a new three-year cycle will start on the first day of the individual's month of birth. The first three-year cycle of an individual initially licensed after January 1, 1991, will start on the first day of the individual's month of birth. Future cycles will run consecutively from that point. After January 1, 1991, continuing medical education taken between the expiration date of an individual's three-year cycle and the first day of the individual's birth month starting a new three-year cycle may be credited towards this first new three-year cycle. Continuing medical education taken between the date of initial licensure and the first day of the individual's month of birth following the date of initial licensure may be credited towards the first cycle after January 1, 1991.

Those individuals assigned three-year reporting prior to June 4, 1984, shall remain in their assigned reporting cycle.
