New Jersey § 45:14a-11

§ 45:14a-11.

Examinations for license as a professional planner or certificate of registration

as a planner-in-training shall be offered at least once annually at such times and

places as the board shall determine. Such examination shall be prepared by the board or by such qualified experts as

the board may choose, and may cover any and all aspects of planning, previously described

herein. The examinations shall be administered by such qualified expert examiners as may

be appointed by the board. An applicant who has failed to obtain a passing grade in an examination may be examined

again upon filing a new application and the payment of the application fee fixed by

this act, provided that a period of at least six months has elapsed before re-examination. The board, upon application therefor on its prescribed form and the payment of the

application and license fees fixed by this act, may issue a certificate of license

as a professional planner without written examination to any person holding a certificate

of license as a professional planner issued to him by any state, when the applicant's

qualifications meet the requirements of this act and the rules established by the

board. The board upon application therefor and the payment of the application and license

fees fixed by this act shall issue a certificate of license as a professional planner

to any duly licensed professional engineer, licensed land surveyor, registered architect,

or certified landscape architect of New Jersey who obtains a passing grade, as determined

by the board, upon a qualifying written examination on planning law, procedures and

practices as contained in the “Municipal Land Use Law,” P.L.1975, c. 291 ( C.40:55D-1 et seq. ). Any applicant who has passed the examination and has otherwise qualified hereunder

as a professional planner, upon payment of the license fee fixed by this act, shall

have a certificate of license issued to him as a professional planner, signed by the

president and secretary-director of the board under the seal of the board. The certificate of license shall authorize the practice of the applicant as a “professional

planner.” Certificates of licenses shall show the full name of the licensee and shall have a

license number. The issuance of a license certificate by this board shall be evidence that the person

named therein is entitled to all the rights and privileges of a licensed professional

planner while such certificate remains unrevoked or unexpired.
