(a) A pharmacy technician who has had his or her registration administratively suspended pursuant to N.J.A.C. 13:39-6.13(e) may apply to the Board for reinstatement. A pharmacy technician applying for reinstatement shall submit:

1. A reinstatement application;

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

3. The renewal fee for the biennial period for which reinstatement is sought;

4. The past due renewal fee for the biennial period immediately preceding the renewal period for which reinstatement is sought; and

5. The reinstatement fee 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 reinstatement, 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 reinstatement of the registration. If that examination or assessment identifies deficiencies or educational needs, the Board may require the applicant as a condition of reinstatement 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 suspended;

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, registration, or certificate 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.

(c) A pharmacy technician who has had his or her registration suspended pursuant to disciplinary action taken by the Board may apply to the Board for reinstatement of his or her registration at the conclusion of the suspension period. A pharmacy technician applying for reinstatement from a disciplinary suspension shall submit:

1. A reinstatement application, including an affidavit of employment listing each job held during the period of registration suspension, including the names, addresses, and telephone numbers of each employer;

2. A reinstatement fee set forth in N.J.A.C. 13:39-1.3;

3. The applicable renewal fee(s) set forth in N.J.A.C. 13:39-1.3; and
