Alert:
Abandonment of Application for Licensure Grandfather Applications
 

The State Board of Examiners of Heating, Ventilating, Air Conditioning, and Refrigeration (HVACR) Contractors (“Board”) determined to enforce the provision of Abandonment of Application for Licensure for the expired grandfather statute.

Pursuant to N.J.A.C. 13:32A-2.8, an application for a license will be deemed abandoned if an applicant has not submitted all of the information and documentation required to obtain a license and one year has elapsed since the first notice was sent to the applicant regarding the deficiencies in the application. If an application is deemed abandoned, the Board will close the application without notice and dispose of any information or documentation submitted by the applicant, pursuant to the Division of Consumer Affairs’ records retention plan. An applicant whose application has been deemed abandoned may reapply for licensure.

In light of the Abandonment of Application for Licensure provision, the Board has awarded additional three months to submit any missing documentation. Failure to complete your application within the time allotted will result in the administrative closure of your application for licensure. Any missing documentation must be submitted to the Board by June 30, 2023.
