be deemed to have satisfied the requirements of (a)4 above. If the other state does not have any continuing
education requirements, the requirements of (a)4 above apply.

that there may be practice deficiencies in need of remediation prior to reactivation, 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 reactivation of the license. If that
examination or assessment identifies deficiencies or educational needs, the Board may require the applicant,
as a condition of reactivation 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 non-exhaustive issues:
1. Length of time license was inactive;
2. Employment history;
3.
Professional history;
4. Disciplinary history and any action
taken against the applicant's license by any licensing board;

the practice of mortuary science or other professional or occupational practice in New Jersey, any other
state, the District of Columbia, or any other jurisdiction;

board in New Jersey, any other state, the District of Columbia, or in any other jurisdiction; and

professional or occupational practice in New Jersey, any other state, the District of Columbia, or any other
jurisdiction.
