To help you familiarize yourself with the changes, we have gathered some Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) for you below.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs ):
- Why is this change happening?
- DOPL is required to maintain board cash balances between 30% and 150% of a 5-year rolling average of expenditures. The Athletic Commission has been selected for fee holidays to bring the fees more in line with other states and encourage more participation, which would increase overall revenue for the Commission.
- How long will the fees be reduced?
- DOPL will monitor the Athletic Commission’s cash balances closely to determine the most appropriate time to lift the Fee Holiday.
- I have the option of applying or renewing for 1 or 2 years. If I apply or renew for two years, will both years be at a reduced rate?
- Yes, both years will be at a reduced rate.
- Will I still be able to renew early?
- The system changes will go into effect on January 1st, 2026. If your renewal is due on or after January 1st, 2026, and you renew early (within the 60-day window), you will still be charged the standard renewal fee, but you will be issued a refund by January 31st, 2026.
- What if I renew late?
- It is the responsibility of every licensee to maintain their own active licenses. If your license expires and you do not renew by the allotted deadline, you will be responsible for any reinstatement fees.
Effective Date: July 1, 2025
Key Changes:
- Starting July 1, 2025, licensees will have the option of obtaining or renewing either a 1-year license or a 2-year license.
- Licenses will still be renewed on the applicant’s birthdate or on the initial issuance date for businesses.
- Fee Adjustment: If you renew under the extended renewal period of 2 years, your license fee will double to cover both years.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs):
Q: Why is this change happening?
This change is aimed at providing licensees additional options when becoming licensed or when renewing a license.
Q: How are my fees changing?
If you move to a 2-year renewal cycle, your licensing fee will double to reflect the extended renewal period. This means you will pay for two years upfront, but you will only need to renew every other year.
Q: How does this new cycle work if I renew late?
It is the responsibility of every licensee to maintain their own active licenses. If your license expires and you do not renew by the allotted deadline, you will be responsible for any reinstatement fees, along with any licensing costs.
