Current through Register Vol. 56, No. 11, June 3, 2024
Section 13:31A-1.6 - License reactivation
(a) A licensee who holds an inactive license pursuant to N.J.A.C. 13:31A-1.5(c) may apply to the Committee for reactivation of the inactive license. A licensee seeking reactivation of an inactive license shall submit:
1. A renewal application;
2. A certification of employment listing each job held during the period the license was inactive, which includes the name, address, and telephone number of each employer;
3. The renewal fee for the triennial period for which reactivation is sought as set forth in N.J.A.C. 13:31A-1.4; and
4. Evidence of having completed all continuing education credits that were required to be completed during the triennial period immediately prior to the renewal period for which reactivation is sought, consistent with the requirements set forth in N.J.A.C. 13:31A-1.12.
i. An applicant who holds a valid, current license in good standing issued by another state to engage in the burglar alarm business, the fire alarm business, or the provision of locksmithing services, as applicable, and submits proof of having satisfied that state's continuing education requirements for that license, shall be deemed to have satisfied the requirements of this paragraph. If the other state does not have any continuing education requirements, the requirements of this paragraph apply.
ii. To the extent that specific courses are required to satisfy the continuing education requirement for, or are required to have been satisfied prior to, the triennial period for which reactivation is sought, the Committee will allow applicants to take the courses within 12 months following reactivation. If the Committee concludes, in accordance with (b) below, that there are practice deficiencies in need of remediation, (b) below applies.
(b) If a Committee review of an application establishes a basis for concluding that there may be practice deficiencies in need of remediation prior to reactivation, the Committee 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 Committee prior to reactivation of the license. If that examination or assessment identifies deficiencies or educational needs, the Committee may require the applicant, as a condition of reactivation of licensure, to take and successfully complete any education or training or to submit to any supervision, monitoring, or limitations as the Committee determines is necessary to assure that the applicant practices with reasonable skill and safety. The Committee, in its discretion, may restore the license subject to the applicant's completion of the training within a period of time prescribed by the Committee following the restoration of the license. In making its determination whether there are practice deficiencies requiring remediation, the Committee shall consider the following non-exhaustive issues:
1. Length of duration license was inactive;
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 engaging in the burglar alarm business, the fire alarm business, or the provision of locksmithing services 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 or certificate 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 engaging in the burglar alarm business, the fire alarm business, or the provision of locksmithing services or other professional or occupational practice in New Jersey, any other state, the District of Columbia, or in any other jurisdiction.
