Section 13:39-6.14 - Pharmacy technician registration reactivation

(a) A pharmacy technician who holds an inactive registration pursuant to N.J.A.C. 13:39-6.13(c) may apply to the Board for reactivation of the inactive registration. A pharmacy technician seeking reactivation of an inactive registration shall submit:

1. A renewal application;

2. A certification of employment listing each job held during the period the registration was inactive, which includes the name, address, and telephone number of each employer; and

3. The renewal fee for the biennial period for which reactivation is sought as set forth in N.J.A.C. 13:39-1.3.

i. If the renewal application is sent during the first year of the biennial period, the applicant shall submit the renewal fee as set forth in N.J.A.C. 13:39-1.3.

ii. If the renewal application is sent during the second year of the biennial period, the applicant shall submit one-half of the renewal fee as set forth in N.J.A.C. 13:39-1.3.

(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 registration. If that examination or assessment identifies deficiencies or educational needs, the Board may require the applicant as a condition of reactivation of the registration to take and successfully complete any education or training or to submit to any supervision, monitoring, or limitations as the Board determines is necessary to assure that the applicant practices with reasonable skill and safety. The Board, in its discretion, may restore the registration subject to the applicant's completion of the training within a period of time prescribed by the Board following the restoration of the registration. In making its determination whether there are practice deficiencies requiring remediation, the Board shall consider the following non-exhaustive issues:

1. Length of time registration was inactive;

2. Employment history;

3. Professional history;

4. Disciplinary history and any action taken against the applicant's license or registration by any licensing board;

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