Current through Register Vol. 56, No. 18, September 16, 2024

(a) A licensee who holds an inactive license pursuant to N.J.A.C. 13:37A-2.3(d) may apply to the Board for reactivation of an inactive license. A licensee seeking reactivation of an inactive license shall submit:

1. A renewal application;

2. A certification of employment listing each job held during the period of inactive license, which includes the name, address, and telephone number of each employer;

3. The active renewal fee set forth in N.J.A.C. 13:37A-7.1; and

4. Evidence of having completed all continuing education credits for the current biennial registration period, consistent with the requirements set forth in N.J.A.C. 13:37A-4.1.

(b) An applicant who holds a valid, current license in good standing issued by another state to engage in the practice of massage and bodywork therapy and submits proof of having satisfied that state's continuing education requirements, shall 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.

(c) If a Board review of an application establishes a basis for concluding 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 education or training, or to submit to supervision, monitoring, or limitations, as the Board determines necessary to assure that the applicant practices with reasonable skill and safety. The Board may restore the license subject to the applicant's completion of 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 inactive;

2. Employment history;

3. Professional history;

4. Disciplinary history and any action taken against the applicant's license or registration by any professional or occupational board;

5. Actions affecting the applicant's privileges taken by any institution, organization, or employer related to the practice of massage and bodywork 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 or occupational 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 massage and bodywork therapy or other professional or occupational practice in New Jersey, any other state, the District of Columbia, or in any other jurisdiction.
