Current through Register Vol. 56, No. 23, December 2, 2024

Section 13:44M-3.1 - License renewal

(a) The Board shall send a notice of renewal to each licensed elevator mechanic, at least 60 days prior to the expiration of the license. The notice of renewal shall explain inactive renewal and advise the licensed elevator mechanic 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 license is renewed within 60 days from the date the notice is sent or within 30 days following the date of license expiration, whichever is later.

(b) A licensed elevator mechanic shall renew his or her license for a period of two years from the last expiration date. The licensed elevator mechanic shall submit a renewal application to the Board, along with the renewal fee set forth in N.J.A.C. 13:44M-6.1, prior to the date of license expiration.

(c) A licensed elevator mechanic may renew his or her license by choosing inactive status. A licensed elevator mechanic electing to renew as inactive shall not practice as an elevator mechanic, or hold himself or herself out as eligible to practice as an elevator mechanic, in New Jersey, until such time as the license is returned to active status.

(d) If a licensed elevator mechanic does not renew the license prior to its expiration date, the licensed elevator mechanic may renew the license 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. 13:44M-6.1. During this 30-day period, the license shall be valid and the licensed elevator mechanic shall not be deemed practicing without a license.

(e) A licensed elevator mechanic who fails to submit a renewal application within 30 days of license expiration shall have his or her license suspended without a hearing.

(f) A licensed elevator mechanic who continues to practice as an elevator mechanic with a suspended license shall be deemed to be engaging in unlicensed practice and shall be subject to action consistent with N.J.S.A. 45:1-14et seq., even if no notice of suspension has been provided to the individual.
