Requires DCA to enable certain construction subcode applicants to electronically submit certain materials for permit application review; limits requirements for physical seal on documents at worksite.
This bill requires New Jersey's Department of Community Affairs (DCA) to create an electronic system for submitting construction permit applications, plans, and inspections. It specifically eliminates the need for physical seals or signatures on plumbing, electrical, and HVAC contractor subcode applications and related documents (like shop drawings), allowing electronic signatures instead. The system must be fully implemented within one year, with training provided to local agencies and contractors. This directly affects licensed construction professionals in these trades by reducing paper-based requirements. The bill was withdrawn as it was approved as P.L.2025, c.268.
