Current through Register Vol. 56, No. 18, September 16, 2024
(a) A licensee who has had his or her license suspended pursuant to
N.J.A.C. 13:34D-1.10(e)may apply to the Committee 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 number of each employer;
3. The renewal fee for the biennial period for which reinstatement is
sought;
4. The past due renewal fee for the biennial period
immediately preceding the renewal period for which reinstatement is sought;
5. The reinstatement fee set forth in N.J.A.C. 13:34D-1.13; and
6. Evidence of having completed all continuing education credits that were
required to be completed during the biennial period immediately prior to the renewal period for which
reinstatement is sought, consistent with the requirements set forth in N.J.A.C. 13:34D-4.1 and 4.2
i. An applicant who holds a valid, current license in good standing issued
by another state to engage in the practice of art therapy and submits proof of having satisfied that state's
continuing 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 education requirements, the requirements of (a)6
above shall apply.
ii. To the extent that specific courses are
required to satisfy the continuing education requirement for, or are required to have been satisfied prior
to, the biennial period for which reinstatement is sought, the Committee will allow applicants to take the
courses within 12 months following reinstatement.
(b) If a Committee review of an application establishes a basis for
concluding that there may be practice deficiencies in need of remediation prior to reinstatement, the
Committee 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 Committee prior to reinstatement of
the license. If that examination or assessment identifies deficiencies or educational needs, the Committee
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 Committee
determines is necessary to ensure that the applicant practices with reasonable skill and safety. The
Committee, in its discretion, may restore the license subject to the applicant's completion of the training
within a period of time prescribed by the Committee following the restoration of the license. In making its
determination whether there are practice deficiencies requiring remediation, the Committee shall consider the
following non-exhaustive list of factors:
1. Length of duration license was
suspended;
2. Employment history;
3. Professional history;
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 art therapy 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 art therapy or other professional or occupational practice in New Jersey, any other state, the
District of Columbia, or in any other jurisdiction.
