New Jersey § 45:5aaa-18

as a condition of licensure renewal pursuant to P.L.2023, c. 237 ( C.45:5AAA-1 et al.). b. The board shall: (1) approve continuing education courses, course providers, and instructors. Entities approved by the board as home improvement or home elevation contractor instructors,

pursuant to section 20 of P.L.2023, c. 237 (C.45:5AAA-18), shall be deemed approved providers of continuing education courses.

Building, construction, contracting, and related professional trade associations that

qualify under the standards to be established by the board as approved providers may

offer approved continuing education courses; (2) confer continuing education credits for courses completed in other states or jurisdictions

of the United States on topics approved by the board as appropriate for elective courses,

provided that the courses have been approved as continuing education courses by the

agency exercising regulatory authority over home improvement or home elevation contractors

in the other state or jurisdiction of the United States and that satisfactory evidence

of the licensees' attendance at and completion of the courses is provided to the board

by the course provider; (3) confer continuing education credits for courses offered in this State on topics

deemed of a timely nature but which have not been granted prior approval by the board,

provided that the courses are advertised prior to the time of offering as not having

been approved, the course provider eventually submits and receives approval of the

course offering, and satisfactory evidence of the licensee's attendance at and completion

of the course is provided to the board by the course provider; (4) set parameters for the auditing and monitoring of course providers; (5) establish, by regulation, the amount of the application fee payable for continuing

education course providers approved by the board and providers seeking approval and

individuals seeking approval as instructors of a continuing education course. These fees shall be non-refundable and shall be in amounts which do not exceed the

costs incurred by the board to review these applications; (6) waive or grant an extension to comply with continuing education requirements,

in whole or in part, on the grounds of illness, emergency, hardship or active duty

military service; and (7) confer continuing education credits upon a licensee who is approved by the board

as an instructor of an approved continuing education course offered by an approved

provider. Licensees approved by the board to instruct an approved continuing education course

shall receive twice the credit conferred upon those licensees attending the course. Regardless of the number of times during a biennial licensure term that the same

approved course is taught by that licensee, that licensee shall receive double the

continuing education credit for that course only once to satisfy part of the continuing

education requirement for the renewal of their license.
