Who appoints the six members of the hearing aid dispenser examining committee?

• A. The State Senate
• B. The Attorney General
• C. The Governor
• D. The Department of Health

Answer: (C)

The Governor is the one who appoints the six members. In New Jersey, statutes create the hearing aid dispenser examining committee to oversee licensing and exams, and the Governor’s office holds the authority to appoint its members to ensure statewide, official oversight. The committee typically includes licensed hearing aid dispensers and public members to balance professional and consumer interests. The Attorney General or the Department of Health don’t appoint the committee, though they may have other roles in enforcement or administration. In some cases appointments may require Senate confirmation, but the appointing power rests with the Governor.
