A 808 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Exempts alarm installers and locksmiths from apprenticeship requirement under "The Public Works Contractor Registration Act."

This bill exempts alarm installers and locksmiths from needing to participate in a registered apprenticeship program when registering as public works contractors under New Jersey's Public Works Contractor Registration Act. Currently, all contractors must join such programs to qualify for public works contracts, but these specific professionals lack approved apprenticeship programs through the U.S. Department of Labor and already have separate licensing requirements under other state laws. The exemption applies only to services directly related to their specialties - fire/burglary alarm installation, locksmithing, or related electronic security services - and does not affect their requirement to maintain other necessary licenses. This change streamlines registration for these contractors without altering their existing licensing obligations.
