N.J. Admin. Code § 5:10-1B.6

Current through Register Vol. 56, No. 18, September 16, 2024

Section 5:10-1B.6 - Renewal of license

(a) Every three years, any license already issued shall be renewed upon submission of an application, payment of the required fee, as defined in 5:10-1B.8, and verification by the Bureau that the applicant has met such continuing educational requirements under (e) below. The Bureau shall renew the license previously issued for a term of three years. The renewal period shall begin 60 days prior to the expiration dates, which shall be July 31 or January 31.

(b) The Bureau shall issue, upon application, a duplicate license of the appropriate type and specialty upon a finding that the license has been issued and the applicant is entitled to such license to replace the one which has been lost, destroyed or mutilated. Payment of a fee of 50 percent of the application fee shall be required.

(c) Where the holder of a license has allowed it to lapse by failing to renew the license, as provided in (a) above, within three years of the license having lapsed, then the application may be made in the same manner as a regular renewal, but the application shall be accompanied by the appropriate renewal fee and an additional late fee determined in accordance with 5:10-1B.8(b). Additionally, the licensee must make up or meet the appropriate continuing education requirement for each active and expired year, as specified in (e) below.

1. Where the license has lapsed for a period exceeding three years or has been revoked, a new application shall be required, in accordance with 5:10-1B.2, and the applicant shall meet all current licensure requirements. In any such case, the provisions of 5:10-1B.2(b)4 i and ii shall not apply.

(d) After revocation of a license upon any of the grounds set forth in these rules, the Bureau may not renew or reinstate such license; however, a person may file a new application for a license with the Bureau. When it can be shown that all loss caused by the act or omission for which the license was revoked has been fully satisfied, that the applicant has been legally rehabilitated and that all conditions imposed by the decision of revocation have been complied with, the Bureau may issue a new license. No new license shall be issued if the cause for revocation was conviction of a crime of any degree which crime was in connection with Code enforcement.

(e) Continuing education requirements for each three-year license cycle are as follows:

1. The following continuing education requirements are based upon the type(s) of license(s) held, and not upon employment positions held. Continuing education units (CEUs) shall be subject to approval by the Department. One CEU equals 10 contact hours of instruction. CEUs will be awarded both for technical and for administrative licenses.

i. Inspector of Hotels and Multiple Dwellings: 1.5 technical CEUs.

ii. Inspector of Hotels and Multiple Dwellings and Housing Code Official: 1.0 administrative CEU and 1.5 technical CEUs.

2. If an individual adds the Housing Code Official license to an existing Inspector of Hotels and Multiple Dwellings license, there shall be no additional continuing educational requirements for the Housing Code Official license during that licensing period.

3. CEU credit for a given course shall be allowed with respect to all licenses held by a licensee to which the course may be applicable.
