A person shall not act as a "telecommunications system controller" unless that person is registered. An application for registration and a registration made or issued may be denied, revoked, cancelled, or suspended, as the case may be, only in the manner prescribed in section 11 of P.L.2017, c.324 (C.53:2-16). Participation in the operation of the telecommunications hiring system shall be monitored by the division.
