Requires issuance of report on certain information and data on processing of applications for professional and occupational licenses and mandates review of training and call intake in Division of Consumer Affairs.
This bill requires New Jersey's Division of Consumer Affairs to collect specific data on professional and occupational license applications and submit a report to the Governor and Legislature within six months. The report must detail outstanding applications, processing times, common errors in incomplete applications, call volume, staffing costs, and technology investments for professions regulated by the division (e.g., nursing, contracting). It also mandates that the Attorney General develop profession-specific training for new staff processing licenses and review outsourcing phone services to improve applicant assistance. The law directly affects license applicants, the Division of Consumer Affairs, and its staff handling license applications.
