A 4227 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Exempts licensed master plumbers from certain electrical contractor business permit requirements.

This bill exempts licensed New Jersey master plumbers from needing an electrical contractor business permit to install, replace, or maintain specific appliances: electric water heaters (under 240 volts) and air conditioning condensing units. It directly affects licensed master plumbers who perform these common residential and commercial tasks. The law amends existing electrical regulations to clarify that plumbers with appropriate master licenses can handle these installations without also holding an electrical contractor permit, removing a redundant requirement. This change allows plumbers to offer these services directly, potentially increasing competition and reducing costs for homeowners and businesses.
