Current through Register Vol. 56, No. 24, December 18, 2024
(a) A licensee who
has had his or her license suspended pursuant to N.J.A.C 13:29-1.7(e) may apply
to the Board for reinstatement. A licensee applying for reinstatement shall
submit:
1. A reinstatement
application;
2. A certification of
employment listing each job held during the period of suspended license, which
includes the names, addresses, and telephone numbers of each
employer;
3. The renewal fee for
the triennial period for which reinstatement is sought;
4. The past due renewal fee for the triennial
period immediately preceding the renewal period for which reinstatement is
sought;
5. The reinstatement fee
set forth in
N.J.A.C.
13:29-1.5; and
6. Evidence of having completed all
continuing professional education credits that were required to be completed
during the triennial period immediately prior to the renewal period for which
reinstatement is sought, consistent with the requirements set forth in
N.J.A.C.
13:29-6.2.
i. An applicant who holds a valid, current
license in good standing issued by another state to engage in the practice of
accountancy, registered municipal accounting, or public school accounting, as
applicable, and submits proof of having satisfied that state's continuing
professional education requirements for that license, shall be deemed to have
satisfied the requirements of (a)6 above. If the other state does not have any
continuing professional education requirements, the requirements of (a)6 above
shall apply.
ii. To the extent that
specific courses are required to satisfy the continuing professional education
requirement for, or are required to have been satisfied prior to, the triennial
period for which reinstatement is sought, the Board will allow applicants to
take the courses within 12 months following reinstatement.
(b) If a Board review of an
application establishes a basis for concluding that there may be practice
deficiencies in need of remediation prior to reinstatement, the Board may
require the applicant to submit to, and successfully pass, an examination or an
assessment of skills, a refresher course, or other requirements as determined
by the Board prior to reinstatement of the license. If that examination or
assessment identifies deficiencies or educational needs, the Board may require
the applicant as a condition of reinstatement of licensure to take and
successfully complete any education or training or to submit to any
supervision, monitoring, or limitations as the Board determines is necessary to
assure that the applicant practices with reasonable skill and safety. The
Board, in its discretion, may restore the license subject to the applicant's
completion of the training within a period of time prescribed by the Board
following the restoration of the license. In making its determination whether
there are practice deficiencies requiring remediation, the Board shall consider
the following factors including, but not limited to:
1. Length of time license was
suspended;
4. Disciplinary history
and any action taken against the applicant's license by any licensing
board;
5. Actions affecting the
applicant's privileges taken by any institution, organization, or employer
related to the practice of accountancy, registered municipal accounting, or
public school accounting, as applicable, or other professional or occupational
practice in New Jersey, any other state, the District of Columbia, or in any
other jurisdiction;
6. Pending
proceedings against a professional or occupational license issued to the
licensee by a professional board in New Jersey, any other state, the District
of Columbia, or in any other jurisdiction; and
7. Civil litigation related to the practice
of accountancy, registered municipal accounting, or public school accounting,
as applicable, or other professional or occupational practice in New Jersey,
any other state, the District of Columbia, or in any other
jurisdiction.
