at any time during the months of February or March upon applica-
tion therefor by payment of the renewal fee. Failure on the part of
any person certified to pay his renewal fee before April 1st does not
deprive him of his right to renew his certification, but the fee to be
paid for renewal after March shall be increased ten per cent (10%)
for each month or fraction thereof that the payment of the renewal
fee is delayed. However, the maximum fee for delayed renewal shall
not exceed twice the normal renewal fee. A psychologist who wishes
to place his certification upon an inactive status may do so upon
application by payment of a fee of Three Dollars ($3.00); such a
psychologist shall not accrue any penalty for late payment of the
renewal fee.

594.    Roster of Certified Psychologists. During the month of
June of each year, the Board shall publish a list of all psychologists
certified under this sub-title. The list shall contain the name and
address of the psychologist and such other information that the
Board deems desirable. Both alphabetical and geographical lists shall
be prepared. The Board shall mail a copy of this list to each person
certified under this sub-title, shall place a copy on file with the Secre-
tary of State and shall furnish copies to the public upon request.

595.    Revocation or Suspension of Certifications—Reprimand.

(a)   The certification of any psychologist may be suspended or
revoked by the Board upon proof that the psychologist (1) has been
convicted of a felony by any court; the conviction of a felony shall
be the conviction of any offense which if committed within this State
would constitute a felony under the laws of this State; or (2) is or
has been an habitual drunkard or addicted to the use of morphine,
opium, cocaine, or other drugs having similar effect.

(b)   The certification of any psychologist may be suspended or
revoked by the Board, upon proof that he (1) has been guilty of
fraud or deceit in connection with his services rendered as a psychol-
ogist, or (2) has aided or abetted a person, not a certified psychol-
ogist, in representing himself as a psychologist within this State;
or (3) has been guilty of unprofessional conduct as defined by the
rules established by the Board.

(c)  No certification shall be suspended or revoked until after

registered mail and shall state the time and place of the hearing and
shall set forth the ground or grounds constituting the charges against
the psychologist. The psychologist is entitled to be heard in his
defense either in person or with counsel and may produce testimony
and may testify in his own behalf. A record of the hearing shall be
taken and preserved. The hearing may be adjourned from time to
time. If the psychologist fails or refuses to appear, the Board may
proceed to hear and determine the charges in his absence. If the psy-
chologist pleads guilty or if upon hearing the charges a majority of
the Board find them to be true, the Board may enter an order sus-
pending or revoking the certification or reprimanding the psychol-
ogist, as the case may be. The Board shall reduce its findings and
order to writing.

(d)   The Board through its Chairman or Vice-Chairman may
administer oaths and may compel the attendance of witnesses and
