Requires local unit to accept electronic payment of construction code fees.

This bill (A4436) requires New Jersey local governments to accept online or card payments for construction code fees. It directly affects contractors paying these fees and local units (towns, cities, counties) that must implement payment systems. Local units must pass a resolution to establish electronic payment systems for fees under the State Uniform Construction Code Act, but cannot use credit cards for overdue payments or lien redemptions. The law takes immediate effect.
