Establishes certification program for zoning officers and land use board administrators.

This bill establishes a certification program for municipal zoning officers and land use board administrators in New Jersey. Starting two years after the law takes effect, individuals must hold a state-issued certificate to be appointed or continue in these roles. To obtain certification, applicants must complete specific education (at least two years of college or equivalent experience), pass a course of study covering zoning laws and procedures (40 hours for zoning officers, 30 hours for land use board administrators), and pass a state examination. Certificates are valid for three years and require continuing education for renewal. The program aims to professionalize these roles by setting minimum qualifications for individuals who review development applications and enforce zoning regulations.
