Proposal Number: PRN 2017-157

Proposal Description: Forms - Individual Licensure, Registration, or Qualification

Proposed Amendment: N.J.A.C. 13:69A-5.2, 5.2A, 5.2B, 5.3, 5.4, 5.5, 5.5A, 5.5B, 5.5C, 5.10, and 5.14

Proposed New Rule: N.J.A.C. 13:69A-5.1A

Proposed new N.J.A.C. 13:69A-5.1A, Rules for forms for individual licensure, registration, or qualification, will require, at subsection (a), that all forms completed by individual applicants who are seeking licensure, registration, or qualification status to include a signed, dated, and notarized certification of truth. This certification will require the applicant to certify to the following: that the applicant does not have a child support obligation, if the applicant does have a child support obligation, that the applicant does not have an arrearage; that the applicant is in compliance with any court order to provide health care coverage; that the applicant has not failed to respond to a subpoena relating to a paternity or child support proceeding; and that the applicant is not the subject of a child support-related warrant.

The Division is permitted under Federal law to require the disclosure of Social Security numbers for purposes of enforcing child support obligations. The Division is required under N.J.S.A. 5:12-86.i to find an individual disqualified if he or she is delinquent in child support payments; therefore, the Division must have access to an applicant's Social Security number in order to meet its statutory obligations. The forms being amended previously permitted voluntary disclosure of Social Security numbers.
