Provides license renewal fee relief for businesses and individuals impacted by public highway projects.
This bill waives license renewal fees for licensed professionals and business registration fees for qualifying small businesses affected by public highway projects. It applies to professionals (e.g., licensed contractors, consultants) and small businesses (with 50 or fewer employees) operating in areas where highway construction disrupts traffic or access, causing significant income loss. To qualify, applicants must apply to the relevant state director (Division of Consumer Affairs or Division of Revenue), provide documentation of reduced income, and confirm their business is in an "impacted construction zone." The fee waiver covers all applicable fees due during the active construction period, which begins when work starts and ends when the project concludes.
