How is the renewal fee determined for a lapsed license under 90 days?

The renewal fee for a lapsed license that has been expired for less than 90 days is structured to be a higher rate than the normal renewal fee. Specifically, this fee is set at 1-1/2 times the regular renewal amount. This policy serves a dual purpose: it encourages license holders to keep their licenses up to date in order to avoid incurring additional costs when they lapse, and it accounts for the administrative tasks involved in processing the renewal of lapsed licenses.

This higher fee reflects the increased effort and resources required for processing renewals that have gone past their due date, as well as the importance of maintaining active credentials in the private security field. It's important to stay informed about license renewal processes to avoid these extended fees and ensure ongoing compliance with state regulations.
