40A:9-140.15 Renewal of municipal finance officer certificates.
10. a. Commencing January 1, 1991, all municipal finance officer certificates, except those issued pursuant to section 4 of P.L.1971, c.413 (C.40A:9-140.4) or pursuant to section 6 of P.L.1988, c.110 (C.40A:9-140.11), shall be renewed upon application, payment of the required fee of $50, and verification that the applicant has met continuing education requirements, all as set forth in this section. Each renewal shall be for a period of two years. The renewal date shall be 30 days prior to the expiration date.
b. Each municipal finance officer certificate subject to renewal pursuant to this section issued prior to January 1, 1992 shall expire on January 1, 1994. Each municipal finance officer certificate issued on or after January 1, 1992 shall expire two years from the date on which the certificate was originally issued.
c. Each applicant for renewal of a municipal finance officer certificate shall, on a form prescribed by the director, furnish proof of having earned at least 3.0 continuing education units. For the purposes of this section, 1.0 continuing education unit equals 10 contact hours. Upon verification of this requirement, and upon payment of a fee of $50 to the order of the Treasurer of the State of New Jersey, the director shall renew the municipal finance officer certificate.
d. Where the holder of a municipal finance officer certificate has allowed the certificate to lapse by failing to renew the certificate, a new application and certificate shall be required. If application is made within six months of the expiration of the certificate, then application may be made in the same manner as a renewal; provided, however, that such application may be made in the same manner as a renewal within 12 months of the expiration of the certificate if the director determines that either of the following circumstances prevents a certificate holder from earning the required continuing education units within six months of the expiration of the certificate:
(1) a flood, hurricane, superstorm, tornado, or other natural disaster, and a state of emergency has been declared as a result thereof by the Governor; or
(2) a medical event or condition.
