45:4B-2. Findings, declarations
The Legislature finds and declares that there is an area of concurrent practice between the practice of architecture and the practice of engineering, specifically in the area of building design. In order to eliminate uncertainty and provide for the resolution of future disputes in the area of concurrence, the Legislature declares that it is in the public interest to create a Joint Committee of Architects and Engineers to receive referrals from the New Jersey State Board of Architects and the State Board of Professional Engineers and Land Surveyors; conduct investigations to determine violations of this act; conduct, at its discretion, hearings; communicate its findings in writing; and issue declaratory rulings on the use group classifications contained in section 7 of this act.
Nothing herein, except as provided in section 5 of this act, shall be deemed to preempt the ultimate decision making authority of the boards.
It is also the Legislature's intent to provide for contracting between architects and engineers without compromising the integrity of either profession.
This act is declared remedial except that the powers and duties of the committee shall be limited to those contained in section 5 of this act.

2023 New Jersey Revised Statutes › Title 45 - Professions and Occupations › Section 45:4B-4 - Joint Committee of Architects and Engineers.

45:4B-4 Joint Committee of Architects and Engineers.
4. There is created in the Division of Consumer Affairs in the Department of Law and Public Safety a Joint Committee of Architects and Engineers which shall consist of five members, two of whom shall be licensed architect members of the New Jersey State Board of Architects, two of whom shall be professional engineer members of the State Board of Professional Engineers and Land Surveyors and one of whom shall be appointed by the Governor.
The professional members shall be appointed by their respective board presidents with the advice and consent of a majority of their respective boards. They shall serve at the discretion of their respective boards during their terms of office.
The gubernatorial appointment shall be a resident of this State with experience as an arbitrator and shall not be a licensed architect, professional engineer, or a closely allied professional. The gubernatorial appointment shall serve from the date of appointment for a term of five years and shall not serve for more than two consecutive terms. The gubernatorial appointment may be removed for cause by the Governor.
An alternate member shall be chosen from each board in the same manner as the professional members. An alternate member may represent the appointing board when a professional member is absent from a joint committee meeting. While acting in this capacity the alternate member shall enjoy all the rights and privileges of a voting professional member.
The gubernatorial appointment with an equal number of architect and engineer professional members present shall constitute a quorum. No joint committee business shall be conducted without a quorum.
The joint committee shall meet at least six times a year, except that it shall meet no less than once every two months.
The joint committee members shall be entitled to receive per diem fees and expenses equivalent to fees paid to members of the professional and occupational licensing boards pursuant to section 2 of P.L.1977, c.285 (C.45:1-2.5).
The cost of operation of the joint committee shall be borne equally by the boards which shall adopt such fees by regulation as are necessary to fund such operation.

45:5-9. a. Every licensed podiatrist shall procure every two years from the executive director of the board, on or before November 1, a biennial certificate of registration, which shall be issued by the executive director upon payment of a fee to be determined by the board. The executive director shall mail to each licensed podiatrist on or before October 1 every two years a printed blank form to be properly filled in and returned to the executive director by such licensed person on or before the succeeding November 1, together with such fee. Upon the receipt of said form properly filled in, and such fee, the biennial certificate of registration shall be issued and transmitted. Every licensed podiatrist who continues the practice of podiatric medicine after having failed to secure a biennial certificate of registration at the time and in the manner required by this section shall be subject to a penalty of $25.00 for each failure. Immediately after November 1, the executive director shall send by registered mail to every podiatrist who has failed to obtain a biennial registration certificate for the ensuing two-year period a notice that their license will be automatically suspended within 30 days unless the penalty and registration fee is paid immediately. Upon failure to register after such notice, the license of such person shall be automatically suspended and shall not be reinstated except upon full payment of penalty and registration fee. However, such suspension shall not apply to anyone who has ceased to practice in this State. Any person whose license shall have been automatically suspended under this section shall during such period of suspension be regarded as an unlicensed person, and if he continues to engage in the practice of podiatric medicine during such period, he shall be liable to the penalties prescribed by R.S.45:5-11.
b. If an applicant for reinstatement of licensure has not engaged in practice in any jurisdiction for a period of more than five years, or the board's review of the reinstatement application establishes a basis for concluding that there may be clinical deficiencies in need of remediation, before reinstatement the board may require the applicant to submit to, and successfully pass, an examination or an assessment of skills. If that examination or assessment identifies clinical deficiencies or educational needs, the board may require the licensee, as a condition of reinstatement of licensure, to take and successfully complete any educational training, or to submit to any supervision, monitoring or limitations, as the board determines are necessary to assure that the licensee practices with reasonable skill and safety.
