Section 13:39-6.13 - Pharmacy technician registration renewal

(a) The Board shall send a notice of renewal to each pharmacy technician registrant, at least 60 days prior to the expiration of the registration. The notice of renewal shall explain inactive renewal and advise the registrant of the option to renew as inactive. If the notice to renew is not sent 60 days prior to the expiration date, no monetary penalties or fines shall apply to the holder for failure to renew provided that the registration is renewed within 60 days from the date the notice is sent or within 30 days following the date of registration expiration, whichever is later.

(b) A pharmacy technician shall renew his or her registration for a period of two years from the last expiration date. The pharmacy technician shall submit a renewal application to the Board, along with the renewal fee set forth in N.J.A.C. 13:39-1.3, prior to the date of registration expiration.

(c) A pharmacy technician may renew his or her registration by choosing inactive status. A pharmacy technician electing to renew his or her registration as inactive shall not perform the functions of a pharmacy technician, or hold himself or herself out as eligible to perform the functions of a pharmacy technician, in New Jersey until such time as the registration is returned to active status.

(d) If a pharmacy technician does not renew the registration prior to its expiration date, the pharmacy technician may renew the registration within 30 days of its expiration by submitting a renewal application, a renewal fee, and a late fee as set forth in N.J.A.C. 13:39-1.3. During this 30-day period, the registration shall be valid and the pharmacy technician shall not be deemed practicing without a registration.

(e) A pharmacy technician who fails to submit a renewal application within 30 days of registration expiration shall have his or her registration suspended without a hearing.

(f) A pharmacy technician who continues to perform the functions of a pharmacy technician with a suspended registration shall be deemed to be engaging in unauthorized practice and shall be subject to action consistent with N.J.S.A. 45:1-14 et seq., even if no notice of suspension has been provided to the individual.
