Clarifies licensure requirements of home improvement and home elevation contractors.
This bill clarifies that home improvement and home elevation contractors in New Jersey must either hold a state license or work under the direct supervision of a licensed contractor. It directly affects individuals and businesses performing these specific services, requiring them to meet one of these two licensing conditions. The bill amends existing law to make this requirement explicit, ensuring no unlicensed person can perform such work independently.
