The Florida statutes require renewal of laboratory personnel licenses every two years. Currently the licensure cycle runs from September 1 of the even numbered years to August 31, of the next even numbered years. For example: September 1, 2016 to August 31, 2018. All licenses expire at the same time. If you obtain a license in the middle of the cycle, your license will expire on August 31 of the next even numbered year along with everyone else.
