What is required to reinstate a lapsed CCO permit beyond the renewal fee?

To reinstate a lapsed CCO (Certified Conservation Officer) permit, the requirement includes paying a lapse fee as well as an additional amount for each month the permit has been expired. This policy is in place to ensure that those who wish to reinstate their permits take responsibility for their lapsed status and contribute to the administrative processes involved in renewal. The requirement emphasizes the importance of maintaining up-to-date credentials in the field and provides a financial incentive for prompt renewal. By tying the fees to the duration of the lapse, this approach encourages individuals to remain current in their certifications and actively engaged in their profession.
