Subchapter 14 - RENEWALS, REACTIVATIONS, AND REINSTATEMENTS
Section 13:1-14.1 - Renewals

(a) A law enforcement officer shall be required to renew their license by submitting an application through the employing law enforcement unit to the Commission, in such manner as required by the Commission, six months prior to the expiration date of the license, which shall be accompanied by certifications from the law enforcement officer, and the chief law enforcement executive of the employing law enforcement unit, as required at N.J.A.C. 13:1-11.5.

(b) A law enforcement officer who is unable to certify to any item required at N.J.A.C. 13:1-11.5 shall disclose to the Commission the reason the law enforcement officer cannot make the certification. The Commission shall consider this information in determining whether the law enforcement officer's license shall be renewed.

(c) A chief law enforcement executive who is unable to certify to any item required at N.J.A.C. 13:111.5 shall disclose to the Commission the reason the chief law enforcement executive cannot make the certification and shall provide notice of the disclosure to the law enforcement officer. The Commission shall consider this information in determining whether the law enforcement officer's license shall be renewed.

(d) In addition to the information contained in the law enforcement license renewal application form, the Commission may request any additional information it deems relevant to determine whether a law enforcement officer's license should be renewed. The information may include a summary of a law enforcement officer's internal affairs file, or the entire personnel file as the Commission deems necessary. An employing law enforcement unit or the law enforcement officer shall provide all additional information requested by the Commission, including, but not limited to, the information required in the certification filed with the initial application for licensure as set forth at N.J.A.C. 13:1-10.2.

(e) A law enforcement officer license may be renewed administratively, without requiring review by the Licensing Committee or conducting a hearing, if the licensee and the chief law enforcement executive submit the certifications required pursuant to N.J.A.C. 13:1-11.5, and if there is no notice of an employment-related action concerning the licensee that has been submitted to or is required to be submitted to the Commission in accordance with N.J.A.C. 13:1-11.6.

(f) The license of a law enforcement officer who is active and in good standing and who has timely submitted a completed renewal application prior to the license expiration date shall be deemed in force and effect until the time as the Commission acts upon the renewal application, provided that nothing in this subsection shall be construed to preclude the Commission from exercising the authority to consider the imposition of an adverse licensure action.

(g) The chief law enforcement executive and the law enforcement officer have a continuing obligation to report to the Commission any changes that occur after the submission of the renewal that would make the content of the application inaccurate.
