What must an applicant submit to avoid penalties for failing to submit a criminal history record?

To avoid penalties for failing to submit a criminal history record, the applicant must submit a renewal application. This ensures that the licensing agency is updated with the latest information regarding the applicant's qualifications and any potential issues that may have arisen since their last application. The renewal application process often includes a review of the applicant’s background and may allow for the resolution of any missing or delayed submissions, such as the criminal history record.

Submitting a renewal application helps to maintain compliance with regulatory requirements and shows the applicant's commitment to upholding the standards set by the governing body for massage therapy professionals in Maryland. Timely renewal applications can prevent lapsed credentials and associated penalties, keeping the practitioner in good standing and legally able to provide massage services.
