Provides for DCA to reestablish and administer certification program for recreation administrators and automatically reinstate administrator certifications issued under prior law.
This bill requires New Jersey's Department of Community Affairs (DCA) to reestablish a state certification program for recreation administrators within 180 days. It automatically reinstates certifications for individuals previously certified under the 1966 law (if they pay a $25 fee within 60 days of notice), while others must apply through new procedures requiring either National Recreation and Park Association certification or equivalent qualifications. The program aims to ensure qualified professionals manage recreation services for municipalities, youth centers, senior care, and other organizations serving vulnerable populations. Certifications will be valid for two years and require renewal.
