Section 13:44-1.8 - License reinstatement

(a) A licensee who has had his or her license suspended pursuant to N.J.A.C 13:44-1.6(e) may apply to the Board 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 that includes the names, addresses, and telephone numbers of each employer;

3. The renewal fee set forth at N.J.A.C. 13:44-5.1for 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 at N.J.A.C. 13:44-5.1; and

6. Evidence of having completed all continuing education credits for the current biennial registration period, consistent with the requirements set forth at N.J.A.C. 13:44-4.10.

(b) An applicant who holds a valid, current license in good standing issued by another state to engage in the practice of veterinary medicine and submits proof of having satisfied that state's continuing education requirements, 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 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 reinstatement, 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 reinstatement of the license. If that examination or assessment identifies deficiencies or educational needs, the Board may require the applicant, as a condition of reinstatement 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 may consider the following:

1. Length of time license was suspended;

2. Employment history;

3. Professional history;

4. Disciplinary history and any action taken against the applicant's license 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 veterinary medicine 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 veterinary medicine or other professional or occupational practice in New Jersey, any other state, the District of Columbia, or in any other jurisdiction.
