and contain no material omissions of fact, to the best knowledge
and belief of the licensee.
(d) (1) As a condition of license renewal, a licensee
shall have completed coursework regarding disability access
requirements pursuant to paragraphs (2) and (3). A licensee shall
certify to the board, as a part of the license renewal process,
that he or she has completed the required coursework prior to
approval of his or her license renewal and shall provide

include information and practical guidance concerning requirements
imposed by the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (Public Law
101-336; 42 U.S.C. Sec. 12101 et seq.), state laws that govern
access to public facilities, and federal and state regulations
adopted pursuant to those laws. Coursework provided pursuant to
this paragraph shall be presented by trainers or educators with
knowledge and expertise in these requirements. The board shall
require that a licensee certify that he or she has satisfied the
