New Jersey § 13:1e-48

§ 13:1e-48.

In addition to any other applicable penalties, if, after a hearing, the Commissioner

of Environmental Protection or Commissioner of Health and Senior Services determines

that a violation of P.L.1989, c. 34 ( C.13:1E-48.1 et al.), or any rule or regulation adopted pursuant thereto, has been committed by

a health care professional, then the appropriate professional licensing board of the

health care professional, or the Division of Consumer Affairs in the Department of

Law and Public Safety, as the case may be, after a hearing, may suspend or revoke

the health care professional's license or other authorization to practice in the State. After completion of the term of suspension, a health care professional may, after

a hearing, reapply to the appropriate professional licensing board of the health care

professional, or the Division of Consumer Affairs, to have their license reinstated. a. If a violation is committed by a health care professional who is licensed or residing

in another state, the Attorney General of New Jersey shall notify the Attorney General

or other equivalent authority of that state within 30 days. b. If information concerning a health care professional licensed in this State and

found in violation of another state's medical waste disposal laws is received by the

Attorney General or another State governmental entity, the Attorney General or the

other State governmental entity shall forward the information to the appropriate professional

licensing board, or the Division of Consumer Affairs as the case may be. Within 60 days, the appropriate professional licensing board or the division shall

determine if the information is sufficient to hold a hearing and consider the licensure

suspension under this section.
