SECTION 10:15-30-6. Verification of CPE credit or exemption

(a)   The Board may periodically conduct verification of certificate and license holders' compliance with CPE requirements or their eligibility to claim an exemption to the CPE requirements.

(b)   Such verification shall be conducted by requesting the certificate or license holder to submit to the Board the documentation and evidence required to be retained by the certificate or license holder.

(c)   If a CPE course is not accepted for credit, the certificate or license holder will be notified and the Board may grant a period of time for the certificate or license holder to correct the deficiency.

(d)   In order to determine compliance with the CPE standards, the Board may inspect the records of CPE program sponsors and CPE program developers.

(e)   Certificate and license holders shall automatically be included in the subsequent verification of CPE in any of the following instances:

(1)   If the certificate or license holder failed to satisfactorily comply with CPE requirements as determined by the Board;

(2)   if a certificate or license holder has been the subject of an enforcement action by the Board during the preceding credit verification.

(f)   Registrants are required to substantiate credit reported to the Board, regardless of whether the registrant continues to be required to hold a permit.

(g)   Current valid credit may be substituted for disallowed credit if offered to the Board by the registrant within sixty (60) days, or a number of days as determined by the Board, following notification of a credit deficiency.

(h)   Before enforcement action is taken as the result of a CPE audit deficiency, the Board will issue a second request for documents and allow sixty (60) days, or a number of days as determined by the Board, for compliance with the request.
