Section 13:35-11.5 - Professional assistance program: approval and discontinuance

(a) A professional assistance program seeking to sponsor participants in the ARP first shall seek approval from the Board. A PAP applying for approval shall be required to enter into a formal agreement with the Board, attesting to its willingness and ability to provide necessary services to participants and to work with the IRC in the discharge of its responsibilities. Upon request, any PAP seeking approval shall provide the Board with sufficient information concerning its staffing, the services it provides, available treatment referrals and monitoring contracts so that the Board can be assured that the program is in a position to discharge its obligations under the agreement. Each program shall designate a plenary licensed physician who shall serve as program director and who shall be responsible to assure that the program fulfills its obligations under the agreement. By that agreement the Board shall grant its approval and delineate the conditions upon which the approval could be rescinded.

(b) Should an approved professional assistance program cease offering services, the Board shall allow participating licensees a period of 30 days to seek the sponsorship of another approved professional assistance program provided that interim monitoring provisions are proposed and acceptable to the Board.
