N.J. Admin. Code § 7:28-19.9

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

Section 7:28-19.9 - License expiration, reissuance, and renewal

(a) Except as provided at N.J.A.C. 7:28-19.1(c) or (d), no person, radiologic technologist, or radiologist assistant shall engage in any scope of practice of radiologic technology or radiologist assistant without a valid and effective radiologic technology or radiologist assistant license issued under this subchapter authorizing the licensee to engage in that scope of practice.

(b) A license issued in accordance with this subchapter is effective as of the date of issuance, or January 1st of an odd numbered year, whichever is later, and expires on the immediately following December 31st of an even numbered year. No license is valid longer than two years. It is the Board's practice, but not its obligation, to mail license renewal applications to all licensees at least 60 calendar days prior to the license expiration date.

(c) A radiologic technologist or radiologist assistant shall inform the Department of any change in his or her name and/or address no later than 30 calendar days after the change.

(d) To maintain a valid license, a radiologic technologist or radiologist assistant shall renew his or her license any time prior to its expiration by submitting a renewal application for a radiologic technology or radiologist assistant license and the required renewal fee specified at N.J.A.C. 7:28-19.10(a)3.

(e) The Board may deny an application for renewal if the Board has determined that the radiologic technologist or radiologist assistant is not of good moral character or has violated any provision of this subchapter, the Radiation Protection Act, or the Radiologic Technologist Act. The applicant may request a hearing as provided by N.J.A.C. 7:28-19.18(b), if aggrieved by the Board's action.

(f) A radiologic technologist or radiologist assistant who possesses an expired license may apply to have the license reissued, provided that the license has not been expired for five years or more. An individual who wishes to have a license reissued that has been expired less than five years shall submit an application for reissuance and the fee specified at N.J.A.C. 7:28-19.10(a)3. If such individual has not engaged in the practice of radiologic technology or radiologist assistant at any time in New Jersey during the period the license was expired, the individual is required only to pay the reissuance fee for the current license period. If such individual has engaged in the practice of radiologic technology or radiologist assistant at any time in New Jersey during the period the license was expired, in addition to the reissuance fee for the current license period, the individual shall pay the reissuance fee for each previous renewal period, in addition to other sanctions that may be imposed under the Radiation Protection Act or the Radiologic Technologist Act for practicing radiologic technology or radiologist assistant without a license.

(g) A radiologic technologist or radiologist assistant who possesses a license that has been expired for five or more years may not have that license renewed, but may apply for a license in accordance with N.J.A.C. 7:28-19.7 or 19.16.
