N.J.A.C.
13:37A-4.1 have been completed during the
prior biennial period;

The applicant has coverage by a professional liability insurance policy in a
minimum amount of $ 1,000,000 per occurrence and $ 3,000,000 aggregate per
policy year.
(b) The
Board shall send a notice of renewal to each licensee at the address registered
with the Board, at least 60 days prior to the expiration of the license. The
notice of renewal shall explain inactive renewal and advise the licensee of the
option to renew as inactive. If the notice to renew is not sent at least 60
days prior to the expiration date, no monetary penalties or fines shall apply
to the holder for any unlicensed practice during the period following the
licensure expiration, 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.
(c)
The licensee shall submit the renewal application and pay the renewal fee
pursuant to
N.J.A.C.
13:37A-7.1 prior to the date of expiration of
the license.
(d) A licensee may
renew his or her license by choosing inactive status. A licensee electing to
renew as inactive shall not engage in the practice of massage and bodywork
therapy, or hold him- or herself out as eligible to engage in the practice of
massage and bodywork therapy, in New Jersey until such time as the license is
returned to active status.
(e) If a
licensee does not renew the license prior to its expiration date, the licensee
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.
13:37A-7.1. During this 30-day period, the
license shall be valid and the licensee shall not be deemed practicing without
a license.
(f) A licensee who fails
to submit a renewal application within 30 days of license expiration shall have
his or her license suspended without a hearing.
(g) Individuals who continue to practice or
hold themselves out as State-licensed massage and bodywork therapists with a
suspended license shall be deemed to be engaging in the unlicensed practice of
massage and bodywork therapy and shall be subject to action consistent with
N.J.S.A.
45:1-14 et seq., even if no notice of
suspension had been provided to the person.
