Section 13:32-7.7 - Renewal of certificates

(a) Certificates for instructors and installers shall be renewed triennially on a form provided by the Board. Certificates to perform only brazing incidental to installation of medical gas piping shall be renewed annually on a form provided by the Board.

(b) The Board shall send a notice of renewal to each certificant at least 60 days prior to the expiration of the certificate. The notice of renewal shall explain inactive renewal and advise the certificant of the option to renew as inactive. If the notice to renew is not sent 60 days prior to the expiration date, no monetary penalty or fines shall apply to the holder for any failure to renew provided that the certificate is renewed within 60 days from the date the notice is sent or within 30 days following the date of certificate expiration, whichever is later.

(c) Certificants shall submit the renewal application and pay the renewal fee pursuant to 13:32-5.1 prior to the date of expiration of the certificate.

(d) A certificant may renew his or her certificate by choosing inactive status. A certificant with an inactive certificate shall not practice, or hold himself or herself out as eligible to practice, in New Jersey until such time as the certificate is returned to active status.

(e) If a certificant does not renew the certificate prior to its expiration date, the certificant may renew the certificate within 30 days of its expiration by submitting a renewal application, a renewal fee, and a late fee as set forth in N.J.A.C. 13:32-5.1. During this 30-day period, the certificate shall be valid and the certificant shall not be deemed practicing without a certificate.

(f) A certificant who fails to submit a renewal application within 30 days of certificate expiration shall have his or her certificate suspended without a hearing.

(g) A person who continues to practice or hold himself or herself out as a certificant after being suspended pursuant to (f) above shall be deemed to have engaged in uncertified practice pursuant to 45:14C-28 and shall be subject to action consistent with 45:1-14 et seq., even if no notice of suspension has been provided to the person.
