7. Entry of judgment in any malpractice actions or settlements.

(c) A licensee shall notify the Committee, in writing, of any changes in circumstances which would alter the response last provided by the licensee to questions on the biennial renewal form pertaining to medical conditions and use of chemical substances which in any way impair or limit the licensee's ability to practice with reasonable skill and safety.

(d) Failure by a licensee to provide the Committee with notice of any information required pursuant to this section within 30 days of the change or the event necessitating the filing of the notice may be deemed professional misconduct within the meaning of N.J.S.A. 45:1-21(e).
