All active certificates so issued shall be prima facie evidence of the right of the holder to practice dentistry in this State. Every licensee holding an active registration certificate who may practice at any place other than that address for which his active registration certificate is issued shall be required to obtain from the secretary-treasurer for a fee of $2.00 a branch office registration certificate for each and every location wherein he practices; provided, that nothing herein contained, shall be construed to require an active licensee to obtain a branch office certificate for the purpose of serving on the staff of a hospital or institution which receives no fees (other than entrance registration fees) for the services rendered by the dentist and that the dentist receives no fees or compensation directly or indirectly for such services rendered; and further provided, that nothing herein contained shall be construed to require an active licensee to obtain a branch office certificate for the purpose of rendering necessary dental services for their patients confined to their homes, hospitals or institutions.

The certificate of registration which shall be issued to a retired dentist shall state, among other things, that the holder has been licensed to practice dentistry in New Jersey but that during his retirement he shall not practice dentistry. The holder of a certificate of registration as a retired dentist shall be entitled to resume the practice of dentistry at any time; provided, he first shall have obtained from the secretary-treasurer an annual certificate of registration as hereinbefore provided. The license of any person who fails to procure any annual certificate of registration, or in lieu thereof an annual certificate of registration as a retired dentist, at the time and in the manner required by this section may be suspended by the board in the manner provided by sections 45:6-7 to 45:6-9 of this Title. Any license so suspended shall be reinstated at any time within 3 years from the date of such suspension upon the payment of all past due annual registration fees and an additional reinstatement fee of $25.00. Any person whose license shall have been suspended for such cause shall, during the period of such suspension, be regarded as an unlicensed person and, in case he shall continue or engage in the practice of dentistry during such period, shall be liable to the penalties prescribed by section 45:6-13 of this Title for practicing dentistry without a license. Any person to whom a certificate of registration as a retired dentist shall have been issued who shall continue or engage in the practice of dentistry without first having obtained a certificate of registration authorizing him to resume the practice of dentistry, shall be liable to the penalties prescribed by section 45:6-13 of this Title for practicing dentistry without a license.

2. a. Notwithstanding any law, rule or regulation to the contrary, an entity shall not disqualify a person from obtaining or holding any certificate, registration or license issued by an entity solely because the person has been convicted of or engaged in acts constituting any crime or offense, unless the crime or offense has a direct or substantial relationship to the activity regulated by the entity or is of a nature such that certification, registration or licensure of the person would be inconsistent with the public's health, safety, or welfare. For the purposes of this section, a judgment of conviction or a plea of guilty, non vult, nolo contendere or any other such disposition of alleged criminal activity shall be deemed a conviction. In making this determination, an entity shall consider the following: (1) the nature and seriousness of the crime or offense and the passage of time since its commission; (2) the relationship of the crime or offense to the purposes of regulating the profession or occupation regulated by the entity; (3) any evidence of rehabilitation of the person in the period of time following the prior conviction that may be made available to the entity; and (4) the relationship of the crime or offense to the ability, capacity, and fitness required to perform the duties and discharge the responsibilities of the profession or occupation regulated by the entity. b.

The person shall be afforded an opportunity to be heard before the entity no later than 45 days after the entity receives the person's request for a hearing unless the person and the entity mutually agree to an extension. If, after the person is afforded the opportunity to be heard before the entity, the person is disqualified for a certificate, registration or license, the entity shall notify the person, no later than 45 days after the hearing, in writing of the following: (1) the grounds and reasons for the denial or disqualification; (2) the earliest date the person may reapply for the certificate, registration or license; and (3) that additional evidence of rehabilitation may be considered upon reapplication. c. If a person's prior conviction was for murder, pursuant to N.J.S.2C:11-3 or an equivalent statute of another state or jurisdiction, or any sex offense that would qualify the person for registration pursuant to section 2 of P.L.1994, c.133 (C.2C:7-2) or under an equivalent statute of another state or jurisdiction, there shall be a rebuttable presumption that the crime or offense has a direct or substantial relationship to the activity regulated by the entity or is of such a nature that certification, registration or licensure of the person would be inconsistent with the public's health, safety, or welfare. d. This section shall apply to any license, certification, or registration issued by any entity designated in section 2 of P.L.1978, c.73 (C.45:1-15), or by any principal department of the Executive Branch of State government or any entity within any department or any other entity hereafter created to license or otherwise regulate a profession or occupation. e.
