name used in its operation, each primary location, including street and street number

of the building and place where its business is to be conducted, and the names and

residence addresses of its principal owners or officers. c. The director shall establish by rule and collect an annual fee from firm registrants,

which shall not be more than the fee paid by employment agencies, to be used to the

extent necessary to defray expenses incurred by the bureau in the performance of its

duties under this section. d. In addition to any act or practice in violation of P.L.1960, c. 39 ( C.56:8-1 et seq. ), it shall be a violation of this act for any registrant or its agent to: (1) Make, or cause to be made, publish or cause to be published, any false, misleading,

or deceptive advertisement or representation concerning the services or products that

the registrant provides to job seekers. (2) Disseminate information to a job seeker knowing or recklessly disregarding information

of the information; or (d) The registrant has not obtained written or oral permission to list the job from

the employer or an authorized agent of the employer. e. The director may refuse to issue, and may revoke, any registration for failure

to comply with, or violation of, the provisions of this section or for any other good

cause shown, within the meaning and purpose of this section. A refusal or revocation shall not be made except upon reasonable notice to, and

opportunity to be heard by, the applicant or registrant. f. The director, instead of revoking a registration, may suspend the registration

for a period of time determined to be proper, or assess a penalty in lieu of suspension,

or both, and may issue a new registration notwithstanding the revocation of a prior

registration, provided that the applicant is found to have become entitled to the

new registration. g. A registered consulting firm shall be permitted to provide temporary help services

in the course of its business. h. A registered firm may engage in activities requiring registration under sections

24 and 25 of this act 1 if it complies with the requirements of those sections. i. Any person who fails to comply with the provisions of this section or rules and
