N.J. Admin. Code § 7:26-16A.3

Current through Register Vol. 56, No. 19, October 7, 2024

Section 7:26-16A.3 - Applications pending on July 2, 1984

(a) Persons with applications pending before the Department on the effective date of these rules (July 2, 1984) shall submit a disclosure statement to the Department and the Attorney General no later than September 30, 1984.

(b) It is the Department's intention that applicants whose applications were pending before the department prior to the proposal date of subchapter 16 (May 7, 1984) shall have the licensing process delayed as little as possible by reason of the new licensing requirements imposed by L. 1983, c.392. When it finds that it is in the public interest to do so, or to prevent unreasonable economic hardship, the Department may conditionally issue a license to an applicant whose application was pending on May 7, 1984 before it has received a full investigative report from the Attorney General, provided that:

1. The disclosure statement has been filed, and a preliminary review by the Department indicates no reason for disqualification;

2. The Attorney General has conducted a check of applicable criminal history information and reported to the Department that such check indicates no reason for disqualification; and

3. The applicant has signed a statement indicating its understanding that its license may be revoked if the full investigative report or subsequent investigation indicate reasons for disqualification.

(c) Applicants who filed their applications after May 7, 1984 may not be issued licenses until completion of the investigative report. However, the Department will attempt to expedite processing of such applications by requesting the Attorney General to accord highest priority to completing investigative reports on applicants whose applications are pending before the Department prior to July 2, 1984. Also, in appropriate cases, the Department will continue technical review of such applications concurrent with the disclosure statement review and investigative report.
