Section 13:30-8.6 - Biennial license and registration renewal

(a) The Board shall send a notice of renewal to each licensee or registrant, at least 60 days prior to the expiration of the license or registration. The notice of renewal shall explain inactive renewal and advise the licensee or registrant of the option to renew as inactive. If the notice to renew is not sent 60 days prior to the expiration date, no monetary penalties or fines shall apply to the holder for failure to renew provided that the license or registration is renewed within 60 days from the date the notice is sent or within 30 days following the date of license or registration expiration, whichever is later.

(b) A licensee or registrant shall renew his or her license or registration for a period of two years from the last expiration date. The licensee or registrant shall submit a renewal application to the Board, along with the renewal fee set forth at N.J.A.C. 13:30-8.1, prior to the date of license or registration expiration.

(c) A licensee or registrant may renew his or her license or registration by choosing inactive status. A licensee or registrant electing to renew his or her license or registration as inactive shall not engage, as applicable, in the practice of dentistry, dental hygiene, or dental assisting, or hold himself or herself out as eligible to engage, as applicable, in the practice of dentistry, dental hygiene, or dental assisting in New Jersey until such time as the license or registration, as applicable, is returned to active status.

(d) If a licensee or registrant does not renew the license or registration prior to its expiration date, the licensee or registrant may renew the license or registration within 30 days of its expiration by submitting a renewal application, a renewal fee, and a late fee as set forth at N.J.A.C. 13:30-8.1. During this 30-day period, the license or registration shall be valid and the licensee or registrant shall not be deemed practicing without a license or registration, as applicable.

(e) A licensee or registrant who fails to submit a renewal application within 30 days of license or registration expiration shall have his or her license or registration, as applicable, suspended without a hearing.

(f) A licensee or registrant who continues to engage in the practice of dentistry, dental hygiene, or dental assisting, as applicable, with a suspended license or registration shall be deemed to be engaging in the unauthorized practice of dentistry, dental hygiene, or dental assisting, as applicable, and shall be subject to action consistent with N.J.S.A. 45:1-14et seq., even if no notice of suspension has been provided to the individual.
