c.An applicant seeking reinstatement of a license or certificate suspended pursuant to section 5 of P.L.1999, c.403 (C.45:1-7.1), or an applicant seeking reactivation of a license or certificate that was in inactive status pursuant to section 5 of P.L.1999, c.403 (C.45:1-7.1), who holds a valid, current, corresponding professional or occupational license, certificate of registration, or certification in good standing issued by another state, who submits proof of having satisfied that state's continuing education requirements for that license, certification of registration, or certification, shall be deemed to have satisfied paragraph (6) of subsection a. and paragraph (4) of subsection b. of this section.

d.To the extent that specific courses are required to satisfy the continuing education requirement for, or are required to have been satisfied prior to, the biennial or triennial period for which renewal is sought, a board may permit those courses to be taken in the 12 months following renewal. Credit for those courses may be applied to the continuing education requirement for the next renewal period.

e.If a board review of an application for reinstatement or reactivation under this section establishes a basis for concluding that there may be practice deficiencies in need of remediation prior to reinstatement or reactivation, the board may require the applicant to submit to and successfully pass an examination or an assessment of skills, a refresher course, or other requirements as determined by the board prior to reinstatement or reactivation of the license. If that examination or assessment identifies clinical deficiencies or educational needs, the board may require the applicant, as a condition of reinstatement or reactivation of licensure, to take and successfully complete any education or training, or to submit to any supervision, monitoring, or limitations, as the board determines are necessary to assure that the applicant practices with reasonable skill and safety. The board, in its discretion, may restore the license subject to the applicant's completion of the training within a period of time prescribed by the board following the restoration of the license.
