Section 12:3-1.4 - Procedures and period of debarment

(a) When the Department seeks to debar a person, the person or persons shall be furnished with a written notice stating:

1. That debarment is being considered;

2. The specific details concerning the violations; and

3. That the person shall have the right to a hearing upon written notification to the Commissioner requesting such a hearing within 20 days of receipt of the notice of intent to debar.

(b) The notice of intent to debar shall be mailed, by regular mail and return receipt requested, to each corporate officer of record, partner, individual proprietor or other involved person.

(c) If, after confirmation that the person has been mailed the notice of intent to debar, the person has not requested a hearing to contest the debarment, the person shall be deemed to have forfeited the right to apply for injunctive relief in the Superior Court against the listing as a debarred person.

(d) All hearings pursuant to this section shall be conducted in accordance with the provisions of the Administrative Procedure Act, N.J.S.A. 54:14B-1 et seq., and the Uniform Administrative Procedure Rules, N.J.A.C. 1:1. Where any other State Department or agency has already imposed debarment upon a party, the Commissioner may also impose a similar debarment without affording an opportunity for a hearing, provided the Commissioner furnishes notice of the proposed similar debarment to that party, and affords that party an opportunity to present information in his or her behalf to explain why the proposed similar debarment should not be imposed in whole or in part.

(e) Debarment shall be for a period of three years.
