Bill Summary
This bill requires the Division of Consumer Affairs to develop an automated system for use by the boards, committees, or other entities in the division that regulate a profession or occupation which requires a licensee to complete continuing education to renew a license to track the credits or hours completed by each licensee. The system is to determine if a licensee is in compliance with the continuing education requirement of the particular profession or occupation in time for the renewal of a license, notwithstanding any hardship experienced by a licensee that has been determined by the requisite board, committee, or other entity.
AI Summary
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 licenses. The system will help licensing boards verify whether individual licensees have completed the required continuing education hours before their license renewal. Continuing education requirements are common in many professional fields and typically involve professionals completing a certain number of educational credits or training hours to maintain their professional credentials. The bill specifies that the system should account for any hardship circumstances that a specific board might recognize for a licensee. The new tracking system will take effect on the first day of the 13th month after enactment and will apply to license renewal applications received on or after that date. Additionally, the Director of the Division of Consumer Affairs is authorized to take preparatory administrative steps to implement this new tracking system.
