A 1172 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Revises statutory definition of certain waterfront workers.

This bill (A 1172) proposed revising legal definitions related to waterfront workers and operations in New Jersey, specifically amending P.L.2017, c.324. It defined terms like "longshoreman," "carrier of freight by water," "marine terminal," and "hiring agent" to clarify roles and responsibilities in port operations. These definitions would have directly affected workers (e.g., longshoremen), carriers, stevedores, and enforcement agencies like the Division of State Police. The bill was withdrawn on January 13, 2026, as it was superseded by the enacted P.L.2025, c.333, meaning it did not become law.
