Bill > S4387

This bill requires the New Jersey Division of Consumer Affairs to create an automated tracking system for continuing education credits across various professional and occupational licensing boards. The system will help monitor and verify that licensed professionals have completed the required continuing education hours needed to renew their licenses. Each board or committee regulating a specific profession will use this system to track individual licensees' credits, ensuring compliance before license renewal. The bill includes provisions for accommodating licensees experiencing hardships, as determined by the relevant regulatory board. The tracking system will go into effect on the first day of the 13th month after enactment and will apply to license renewal applications received on or after that date. The goal of this bill is to streamline and standardize the continuing education verification process across different professional licensing entities in New Jersey, promoting ongoing professional development and maintaining high standards of professional practice.
