(f) License renewal fees shall be due on or before the date on which the license expires. Applications for renewal submitted after the date on which the license expires shall be accompanied by a late fee in the amount of $500.00; however, applications for renewal submitted 10 or more calendar days after the date on which the license expired shall not be accepted, and the applicant shall be required to submit an application and the appropriate fee for licensure as a new provider. In addition, a provider that allows its license to expire shall be subject to monetary penalties for operation as an unlicensed entity, as provided for at 8:40-7.4(a)2 ii.

(g) Any and all proposed changes in ownership interest shall be reported to the Department at least 30 calendar days prior to the actual change, except that providers owned by publicly held corporations need only report stock redistributions of five percent or more.

1. Changes in ownership interest that do not involve a change in the controlling interest of a provider, or changes in ownership where an existing owner is assuming the controlling interest, shall be accompanied by a cashier's check or money order in the amount of $250.00 to cover the administrative costs associated with updating the provider's file. The check shall be made payable to "Treasurer, State of New Jersey."

2. All other changes to the controlling interest of a provider shall constitute a complete change in ownership and shall require the submission of an application for licensure by the proposed owner, as set forth at 8:40-2.1 and 2.2. No services shall be provided until such time as the applicant has been granted the required provider and vehicle licenses.

3. All licenses shall be immediately void if the controlling interest of a provider is changed without first notifying the Department and receiving all necessary provider and/or vehicle licenses.

(h) Once licensed, it shall be the provider's responsibility to notify the Department of any change of trade name, license plate or vehicle recognition number and to provide appropriate documentation as may be required by the Department. The Department shall charge a nonrefundable fee of $250.00 to process a change of trade name for a provider license where no change of ownership has occurred. The Department shall charge a nonrefundable fee of $20.00 per vehicle to process a change of trade name, vehicle license plate or vehicle recognition number for a vehicle license. Revised vehicle licenses shall be issued only for the vehicle that bears the exact same manufacturer-issued vehicle identification number (VIN).

(i) Governmental entities, such as municipalities and State agencies, are exempt from paying the fees contained in this section, but shall be required to file all appropriate applications.
