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

(a) Prior to expiration of the initial license, a licensee must apply for license renewal to retain his or her license. A licensed individual who seeks to renew his or her license shall submit a completed license renewal application, on a form available on the Board's website at www.njtreeexperts.org, together with documentation showing that he or she has successfully satisfied the continuing education requirements set forth at N.J.A.C. 7:3A-7.1(a) and payment of the license biennial renewal fee as set forth in N.J.A.C. 7:3A-6.1(a).

(b) Upon receipt of an application for license renewal, the Board will determine if the licensee qualifies for license renewal. The Board shall notify the licensee in writing if the application is renewed. If the license is renewed, the Board shall issue the licensee a new license card. If the renewal is denied, the notice shall state the reasons for the denial and advise the licensee that he or she may request an adjudicatory hearing pursuant to N.J.A.C. 7:3A-10.1.

(c) A license renewed by the Board under this section shall be valid for a period of two years. A licensee must apply biennially for license renewal in the manner set forth in this section.

(d) If a licensee does not renew his or her license prior to its expiration date, the licensee may renew the license within 30 days after its expiration date by submitting a renewal application, license biennial renewal fee, and license late fee as set forth at N.J.A.C. 7:3A-6.1(a). During this 30-day period, the license shall remain valid and the licensee shall not be deemed to be unlawfully representing himself or herself to the public as a licensee.

(e) A license that is not renewed within 30 days of its expiration shall be automatically suspended. An individual who holds himself or herself out as a licensed tree expert or licensed tree care operator when his or her license is suspended shall be in violation of N.J.S.A. 45:15C-11 and shall be subject to civil administrative penalties as set forth at N.J.A.C. 7:3A-9.6(a).
