Current through Register Vol. 56, No. 24, December 18, 2024

Section 13:32-7.8 - Certificate reactivation

(a) A certificant who holds an inactive certificate pursuant to N.J.A.C. 13:32-7.7(d) may apply to the Board for reactivation of the inactive certificate. A certificant seeking reactivation of an inactive certificate shall submit:

1. A renewal application;

2. A certification of employment listing each job held during the period the certificate was inactive, which includes the names, addresses, and telephone number of each employer; and

3. The renewal fee for the period for which reactivation is sought as set forth in N.J.A.C. 13:32-5.1.

(b) If a Board review of an application establishes a basis for concluding that there may be practice deficiencies in need of remediation prior to reactivation, the Board may require the applicant to submit to, and successfully pass, an examination or an assessment of skills, a refresher course, or other requirements as determined by the Board prior to reactivation of the certificate. If that examination or assessment identifies deficiencies or educational needs, the Board may require the applicant as a condition of reactivation of certification to take and successfully complete education or training, or to submit to supervision, monitoring, or limitations, as the Board determines are necessary to assure that the applicant practices with reasonable skill and safety. The Board may restore the certificate subject to the applicant's completion of training within a period of time prescribed by the Board following the restoration of the certificate. In making its determination whether there are practice deficiencies requiring remediation, the Board shall consider the following non-exhaustive issues:

1. Length of time the certificate was inactive;

2. Employment history;

3. Professional history;

4. Disciplinary history and any action taken against the applicant's certificate by any professional or occupational board;

5. Actions affecting the applicant's privileges taken by any institution, organization, or employer related to practice as an instructor, installer, or individual who performs only brazing incidental to the installation of medical gas piping, or other professional or occupational practice in New Jersey, any other state, the District of Columbia, or in any other jurisdiction;

6. Pending proceedings against a professional or occupational certificate issued to the applicant by a professional or occupational board in New Jersey, any other state, the District of Columbia, or in any other jurisdiction; and

7. Civil litigation related to practice as an instructor, installer, or brazer, or other professional or occupational practice in New Jersey, any other state, the District of Columbia, or in any other jurisdiction.
