Current through Register Vol. 56, No. 21, November 4, 2024

Section 13:37-14.14 - Certification reactivation

(a) A CHHA who holds an inactive certification pursuant to 13:37-14.13(c) may apply to the Board for reactivation of certification. A CHHA seeking reactivation of an inactive certification shall submit:

1. A renewal application;

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

3. The renewal fee for the biennial period for which reactivation is sought as set forth in 13:37-5.5(b); and

4. Proof that the person is employed by, or has a promise of employment from, a home care services agency.

(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 certification. 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 certification subject to the applicant's completion of the training within a period of time prescribed by the Board following the restoration of the certification. In making its determination whether there are practice deficiencies requiring remediation, the Board shall consider the following:

1. Length of time the certification was inactive;

2. Employment history;

3. Professional history;

4. Disciplinary history and any action taken against the applicant by any licensing board;

5. Actions affecting the applicant's privileges taken by any institution, organization, or employer related to practice as a CHHA 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 any professional or occupational license or certificate issued to the applicant by a professional board in New Jersey, any other state, the District of Columbia, or in any other jurisdiction; and

7. Civil litigation related to practice as a CHHA or other professional or occupational practice in New Jersey, any other state, the District of Columbia, or in any other jurisdiction.
