Brandan89's request for Part One got me to thinking. Every state HS association either has or will be sending out renewals, etc. soon. I'm curious about what each state requires for a renewal each year. I'm licensed in 2 states. One requires Part One every year. The other requires that you take it only once. Both require a rules intepretation meeting annually. One requires a clinic once each three years or probation. What does your state require to renew your licenses each year.

PS. I guess it goes without saying that both require a check for the renewal fees.

Curiosity killed the cat.

All we are required to do is pay dues. Officiating tests are used to keep officials from being on probation and possible suspension of their license. The same goes for attending rules meetings and attending camps. Basically you maintain you license by just paying dues. Nothing else is important to that process.

Peace

Ohio requires a state rules meeting and a number of association meetings (4 mininum). One association I belong to requires 5 meetings.

Only test to get a license and to advance from Class 2 (Everything but varsity) to Class 1.

A. test each year (part 1) Must score 70% or higher- if not you take part II

B. Rules Clinic

C. Dues


D. Officiated the previous year- if not take the 10 week class


E. 6 meetings a year- unless excused

Hey, babe -- you can't just sneak in here, answer one question and split. How have you been? Details, my dear, we ... okay, I ... want details.

Rut,
I'm confused about your response. If paying the money is all that the IHSA requires then why do we take Part One every year, attend rules meetings every year, and attend a clinic every three years? Why do you say that these things aren't important?

I am a member of a small IAABO board that is part of the larger New Hampshire IAABO board. I am not sure which requirements are dictated by IAABO and which are state or local requirements. Now, I will have to ask.

Annual Dues ($60 for 2004-2005).
Pass an open book IAABO test.
Attend annual interpretation meeting.
Attend other meetings or trainings as required. (For instance, there was a three-whistle workshop the year NH started allowing the practice.)

To be registered in the first place you must pass Part I. If you don't attend a clinic once every 3 years, you are on probation. If your assigner doesn't care, and you don't care about working in the post season, it really doesn't matter. I'm pretty sure we have to pass Part I every year. If you don't pass the test, they don't send a new card.

And you don't have to even worry about NOT passing Part 1. Someone always posts the answers here before the test is written. :rolleyes:

And if not, just attend your association meeting. They go over the test, question by question. No problems.

Please tell me that you're not saying that.
