Section: 45:4B-5: Powers, duties of joint committee

The joint committee shall have the following powers and duties:



a. To investigate, within a reasonable period of time, any alleged violation of this act referred by the boards.



b. To conduct, at its discretion, investigative hearings on any alleged violation of this act referred by the boards.



c. To notify the boards, in writing, if in a particular matter, it finds that no violation of this act has occurred. In the event such a finding is made, no further action shall be taken with respect to that particular matter by either board or the joint committee.

d. To notify the boards, in writing, if in a particular matter, it finds that a violation of this act has occurred. In the event of such a finding the board possessing authority to discipline the licensee or other regulated entity found to have violated this act shall either initiate disciplinary action, or where in its determination the basis for the joint committee's finding is insufficient, refer the matter back to the joint committee for further investigation and evaluation.

e. To determine, by regulation, the assignment of use group classification established pursuant to section 7 of this act for any building or structure not contemplated within the use groups or whose classification is not reasonably ascertainable.

f. To issue declaratory rulings with regard to determining a building or structure's primary use group classification for the purpose of determining if such building or structure is an architectural or engineering project, or both. Requests for declaratory rulings shall be submitted to the joint committee by either of the boards. The joint committee may issue a declaratory ruling which shall bind the boards and all parties to the proceeding on the state of the facts alleged. That ruling shall be deemed a final decision or action subject to review in the Appellate Division of the Superior Court.

g. To promulgate rules and regulations pursuant to the "Administrative Procedure Act," P.L.1968, c.410 (C.52:14B-1 et seq.) to carry out the purposes of this act.

L.1989, c.277, s.5.
