Requires builders of new homes to provide owners with building plans.
This bill requires builders of new homes in New Jersey to provide owners (or their agents) with one free copy of the building plans - sealed by a licensed engineer/architect or accompanied by a sworn affidavit - no later than 15 days before construction begins. It directly affects new home buyers and builders, ensuring transparency about the home's design. Builders who fail to comply face penalties under existing law, including potential license suspension, and must reimburse owners for enforcement costs. The bill also prohibits changes to the plans without a written agreement signed by both parties, and limits builders to charging only actual copying costs for amended plans requested after delivery.
