Current through Register Vol. 56, No. 11, June 3, 2024
Section 13:29-1.9 - License reinstatement
(a) A licensee who has had his or her license suspended pursuant to N.J.A.C 13:29-1.7(e) may apply to the Board for reinstatement. A licensee applying for reinstatement shall submit:
1. A reinstatement application;
2. A certification of employment listing each job held during the period of suspended license, which includes the names, addresses, and telephone numbers of each employer;
3. The renewal fee for the triennial period for which reinstatement is sought;
4. The past due renewal fee for the triennial period immediately preceding the renewal period for which reinstatement is sought;
5. The reinstatement fee set forth in N.J.A.C. 13:29-1.5; and
6. Evidence of having completed all continuing professional education credits that were required to be completed during the triennial period immediately prior to the renewal period for which reinstatement is sought, consistent with the requirements set forth in N.J.A.C. 13:29-6.2.
i. An applicant who holds a valid, current license in good standing issued by another state to engage in the practice of accountancy, registered municipal accounting, or public school accounting, as applicable, and submits proof of having satisfied that state's continuing professional education requirements for that license, shall be deemed to have satisfied the requirements of (a)6 above. If the other state does not have any continuing professional education requirements, the requirements of (a)6 above shall apply.
ii. To the extent that specific courses are required to satisfy the continuing professional education requirement for, or are required to have been satisfied prior to, the triennial period for which reinstatement is sought, the Board will allow applicants to take the courses within 12 months following reinstatement.
(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 license. If that examination or assessment identifies deficiencies or educational needs, the Board may require the applicant as a condition of reinstatement of licensure 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 license subject to the applicant's completion of the training within a period of time prescribed by the Board following the restoration of the license. In making its determination whether there are practice deficiencies requiring remediation, the Board shall consider the following factors including, but not limited to:
1. Length of time license was suspended;
2. Employment history;
3. Professional history;
4. Disciplinary history and any action taken against the applicant's license by any licensing board;
5. Actions affecting the applicant's privileges taken by any institution, organization, or employer related to the practice of accountancy, registered municipal accounting, or public school accounting, as applicable, 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 licensee 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 accountancy, registered municipal accounting, or public school accounting, as applicable, or other professional or occupational practice in New Jersey, any other state, the District of Columbia, or in any other jurisdiction.
